ORN  July  4, 1865,  at  Lovilia,  Monroe  Co.,  Iowa,  the  son  of  Clay  Esshom, 
born  Oct.  29,  1844,  in  Park  County,  Ind.,  near  Portland  Mill,  and 
Joanna  Victorine  Rilea,  born  Jan.  27,  1848,  Mount  Liberty,  Knox  Co., 
Ohio,  they  were  married  Feb.  10,  1864.  Their  children  were:  Frank 
(Ellwood),  married  Jessie.  Williams;  Merton  Wright,  m.  Josephine 
Ferris;  Harlan,  died,  child;  Grade  Caroline,  m.  Bertrand  Pollock  Castner; 
Orange;  Cass  Clay;  Blanche,  m.  Scott  Collins. 

Frank  Esshom  married  Jessie  Williams  Feb.  9,  1894;  she  was  born  Dec.  8, 
1876,  daughter  of  William  H.  Williams  and  Martha  Ann  Moore  of  Galesburg,  111., 
and  St.  Joseph,  Mo. 

Clay  Esshom  was  the  son  of  William  Esshom  of  Maysville,  Ky.,  who  was  the 
son  of  William  Esshom  of  Virginia,  who  was  of  Scotch  and  English  ancestry,  and 
Selinda  (Chancy)  Spurgeon,  born  at  Snow  Hill,  Md.,  of  English  ancestry. 

Joanna  Victorine  Rilea  (the  wife  of  Clay  Esshom)  was  the  daughter  of 
Wesley  Rilea  and  Caroline  Wright;  he  was  born  July  4,  1824,  Putman,  Muskin- 
gum  Co.,  Ohio  (the  son  of  William  Rilea,  who  was  the  fifth  generation  of  Rileas 
in  America  living  at  Culpepper  Court  House,  Va.,  and  Lucy  Arnold). 

Caroline  Wright,  the  daughter  of  Charles  Wright,  of  Frederickstown,  Ohio, 
born  at  Princeton,  N.  J.,  who  was  the  son  of  Ebenezer  Wright,  whose  mother  was 
a  Stuart.  Ebenezer  Wright  came  from  England  as  the  King's  surveyor  to  America. 
His  wife,  Joanna  Johnson,  was  the  daughter  of  John  and  Rebecca  Johnson,  who 
came  from  Holland. 

Frank  Esshom  graduated  from  the  high  school  at  the  age  of  eighteen,  with 
preparation  for  a  university  course.  His  early  life  was  spent  on  his  father's  farm, 
which  was  devoted  largely  to  the  breeding  of  high  grade  horses,  cattle  and  swine, 
as  well  as  the  production  of  large  quantities  of  grain  and  grasses,  so  that  his  early 
environment  and  education  was  on  the  line  of  producing.  It  was  a  family  maxim 
of  the  Esshoms  to  make  two  blades  of  grass  grow  where  one  previously  grew.  In 
his  nineteenth  year,  he  accepted  a  position  in  the  passenger  department  of  the 
Burlington  Railroad,  where  he  became  an  expert  ticketman  at  the  end  of  two 
years,  on  account  of  his  splendid  knowledge  of  geography.  The  following  four 
years  were  spent  in  travel.  He  visited  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  states,  and 
nearly  all  of  the  principal  cities  in  the  United  States,  in  the  capacity  of  an  expert 
special  salesman.  During  this  tour,  he  prepared  special  articles  on  social,  commer- 
cial and  industrial  life,  which  were  his  introduction  into  the  literary  field. 

At  the  age  of  twenty-five  he  began  devoting  his  time  entirely  to  newspaper 
work,  as  a  newspaper  reporter;  an  advertising  solicitor;  newspaper  advertising 
and  business  manager;  editor  and  manager  of  newspapers,  and  was  a  general 
publisher  for  twelve  years  at  Denver,  Colo.,  prior  to  coming  to  Salt  Lake  City. 

Most  of  his  life  has  been  devoted  to  the  production  of  literature,  with  the 
exception  of  a  few  years,  when  he  was  lured  into  the  field  of  mining. 

His  father  was  a  member  of  the  14th  Indiana  Vol.,  during  the  Civil  War. 
His  ancestors  fought  in  all  of  the  wars  of  the  United  States,  beginning  with  the 
Revolution.  They  were  also  pioneers  of  Virginia,  Maryland,  Kentucky,  New  Jer- 
sey, New  York,  Ohio,  Indiana,  and  Iowa.  This  spirit  to  fight  and  pioneer,  in- 
herited, which  together  with  his  life's  labor,  seemed  to  especially  equip  him  for  the 
undertaking  he  has  carried  on — a  campaign  of  seven  years  in  the  field  and  at  the 
desk — to  prepare  and  present  this  volume,  Pioneers  and  Prominent  Men  of  Utah.

N  nineteen  hundred  and  eight,  after  a  year's  labor  gathering  data  for  the 
Pioneers'  history,  the  vastness  of  the  undertaking  dawned  upon  its 
promoters  and  depressed  them  to  almost  stupidness.  They  then  realized 
that  the  work  could  be  accomplished  only  by  the  most  systematic  and 
painstaking  research,  that  they  must  have  the  sentiment  of  the  whole  people  with 
them,  that  some  great  spirit  must  be  in  touch  with  them,  that  was  thoroughly  in 
accord  with  the  people. 

During  this  first  year's  work  Francis  Marion  Lyman  had  been  seen,  he  had 
subscribed  to  the  work,  promptly  furnished  his  data  and  had  done  his  part  toward 
its  production,  and  in  words  had  encouraged  us  to  press  forward  in  our  work. 

The  fire  of  love  for  parent  and  posterity  and  his  people,  flashed  from  his 
eyes  when  he  saw  there  was  an  opportunity  for  their  records  to  be  made  and  pre- 
served. In  fact,  he  glowed  with  joy  at  the  thought. 

So,  when  the  time  came  to  select  a  man  to  head  this  undertaking,  Francis 
Marion  Lyman  seemed  to  be  the  "Moses"  to  lead  the  "children  out  of  Israel." 
When  he  was  requested  to  take  this  leadership  he  faltered — he  knew  the  great 
responsibility— but  his  broad  manliness,  which  fears  no  burden  in  the  cause  of 
right,  nor  in  behalf  of  his  people,  was  thrown  in  the  balance  in  our  favor,  he 
took  the  leadership — became  the  president.  That  we  chose  wisely  the  result  speaks 
for  itself. 

President  Lyman  added  strength  to  our  zest,  he  inspired  us  to  greater  efforts, 
and  others  to  our  assistance,  and  with  ever-gathering  momentum  we  labored  on 
until  the  work  was  done. 

Through  his  assistance  there  has  been  built  a  monument  to  that  "Noble  Band 
of  Heroes,"  as  he  expresses  it,  that  will  live  on  through  centuries. 

No  man  loves  that  "Noble  Band"  more,  or  could  feel  a  greater  responsibility 
for  their  descendants  than  does  Francis  Marion  Lyman. 

His  associates  in  this  work  revere  him  for  his  wise  counsel  as  their  presi- 
dent, adore  his  great  mentality,  love  him  for  his  love  of  humanity  as  well  as  his 
personality. 

They  cherish  for  him  the  highest  regard  and  extend  to  him  their  sincerest 
thanks  for  his  never  ceasing  labor  and  great  assistance  in  behalf  of  this  publication.

JESSE  KNIGHT 

HEN  he  was  five  years  old,  with  his  mother  and  her  family  of  seven 
children,  he  arrived  in  Utah,  a  settlement  three  years  old,  one  thou- 
sand miles  from  the  nearest  town.  His  father  died  a  few  days  journey 

westward  from  the  Missouri  River. 

The  homes  in  Utah  at  that  time  were  improvised  shelters,  there  were 
no  public  and  few  private  schools,  and  the  needs  of  home  were  never  satisfied.  With 
these  surroundings  he  grew  to  manhood  and  fatherhood.  He  tasted  life  from 
every  angle  that  could  fall  to  a  boy  and  a  man,  under  such  surroundings. 

He  had  not  been  an  ardent  Church  member;  while  he  was  recognized  as  a 
Mormon,  he  had  not  been  classed  as  a  Latter-day  Saint,  he  had  not  "had  a  testi- 
mony"; in  other  words,  he  had  not  been  convinced  as  to  the  truth  of  the  religion 
of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints,  and  the  truth  that  Joseph 
Smith  was  a  prophet  of  God. 

In  a  dream,  or  vision,  there  was  revealed  to  him  that  Utah  was  for  the  Mor- 
mons; that  the  doctrine  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints  was 
true;  that  Joseph  Smith  was  a  prophet  of  God;  also,  that  if  he  went  to  a  certain 
place  (indelibly  imprinted  on  his  mind),  that  he  would  find  a  great  vein  of  rich 
mineral,  a  mine.  He  followed  the  instructions  given  him  in  his  dream,  which  took 
him  to  the  now  well-known  Eureka  mining  district.  There,  away  up  on  the  moun- 
tain, he  found  the  spot  he  had  seen  in  his  dream,  and  he  uncovered  the  vein  which 
led  to  a  vast  mineral  body,  which  was  opened  up,  only  by  much  hard  labor  and 
many  vicissitudes.  Many  times,  for  the  lack  of  provisions,  he  would  have  to  stop 
his  work,  but  he  never  lost  faith  in  his  dream,  and  would  return  and  continue 
his  labor.  At  last  the  mine  yielded  the  long  sought  precious  mineral  that  made 
him  a  large  fortune,  which  has  multiplied  and  been  added  to. 

Before  his  dream  came  true,  and  while  he  was  laboring  (as  only  one  can  who 
has  faith)  to  take  from  "Mother  Earth  "  her  treasure,  he  met  Wilford  Woodruff, 
then  president  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints,  who  proph- 
esied that  "he  (Jesse  Knight)  would  save  the  Church's  credit."  Not  long  after- 
ward, the  mine  began  to  yield.  The  Church  had  outstanding  notes  upon  which 
the  interest  was  nearly  due,  the  country  was  in  a  panic  and  money  almost  impossi- 
ble to  get.  The  first  car  of  ore  came  from  the  mine  and  gave  much  greater  value 
than  was  expected.  When  the  miners  and  debts  incidental  to  the  production  of  ore 
had  been  paid,  there  was  ten  thousand  dollars  remaining,  which  amount,  Mr. 
Knight  gave  to  President  Woodruff,  who  paid  the  interest  on  the  Church's  notes, 
and  its  credit  was  saved. 

From  thence  on,  he  knew  the  truth  of  dreams,  visions  and  prophecies,  that 
Joseph  Smith  was  a  prophet  of  God  and  that  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of 
Latter-day  Saints  was  the  restoration  of  God's  Church  on  the  earth. 

There  are  many  pages  in  the  history  of  Mr.  Knight's  life  that  forces  one  to 
believe  that  the  hand  of  providence  guides  our  way. 

He  has  a  Christian,  upright  family,  is  in  possession  of  great  wealth,  and  is 
honored  by  his  fellowman.  Thusly  endowed,  many  a  man  is  raised  above  the  mul- 
titude. It  causes  him  to  forget  the  griefs  and  hardships  that  the  less  fortunate  bear. . 
Not  so  with  Jesse  Knight — he  has  not  changed — he  hears  the  cry  of  the  needy,  has 
sympathy  for  those  in  sorrow,  his  heart  throbs  with  sentiment  and  love  for  human 
kind,  which  gives  him  a  mannerism,  a  receptiveness  and  a  simplicity  that  makes 
one  know  that  the  Spirit  of  Jesus  Christ  is  reflected  in  man  on  earth. 

He  is  a  beloved  father,  an  honored  citizen,  a  kind,  assisting  friend,  a  public 
benefactor,  a  Christian. 


JESSE  KNIGHT 


PREFACE 

HE  author  here  presents  the  volume,  Pioneers  and  Prominent  Men  of 
Utah.  This  work  has  engaged  his  entire  attention  uninterruptedly  since 
September,  1907.  As  will  be  seen,  it  is  the  portraits,  genealogies  and 
biographies  of  Pioneers  and  their  male  descendants  and  Prominent  Men 
of  Utah  and  a  brief  chronological  history  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ 
of  Latter-day  Saints. 

Those  men  and  women  who  came  to  Utah  by  wagon,  hand  cart  or  afoot,  be- 
tween July  24,  1847,  the  date  of  the  arrival  of  the  Brigham  Young  Company,  and 
December  30,  1868,  before  the  railroad,  are  designated  as  Pioneers. 

To  the  author's  mind  they  are  all  entitled  to  that  distinction,  because  they 
came  in  the  same  general  manner.  Some  had  wagons,  others  with  handcarts,  and 
some  afoot,  but  whatever  was  their  mode  of  migration,  they  all  came  for  the  one 
and  same  purpose,  that  was :  to  build  an  empire  and  a  church  and  homes  of  their 
own,  where  they  could  worship  God  according  to  the  dictates  of  their  conscience, 
and  rear  their  families  without  the  contamination  of  outside  influence,  and  be 
free  from  the  strife  and  turmoil  they  had  passed  through  at  Kirtland,  Independ- 
ence and  Nauvoo. 

The  men  coming  to  Utah  after  the  railroad  are  designated  as  Prominent  Men. 

The  portraits  in  this  history  are  arranged,  as  nearly  as  possible,  as  follows: 
First,  that  of  President  Brigham  Young,  followed  by  his  representative  male 
descendants.  These  are  followed  by  the  portraits  of  men  who  came  with  him  in  the 
first  company,  July  24,  1847,  with  the  exception  of  the  first  twelve  pioneers'  names, 
in  alphabetical  order,  with  their  representative  male  descendants  who  are  subscribers 
to  this  history.  After  the  Brigham  Young  company  are  the  portraits  of  men  of 
the  Mormon  Battalion  in  alphabetical  order,  with  their  representative  male  descend- 
ants. These  are  followed  by  the  portraits  of  men  who  came  later  in  1847,  in  the 
order  that  they  came  to  Utah,  namely:  Daniel  Spencer's  100,  with  Perrigrine  Ses- 
sions and  Ira  Eldridge  as  captains  of  50's,  arriving  September,  23d;  Abraham  O. 
Smoot's  100,  with  Geo.  B.  Wallace  and  Samuel  Russell  as  captains  of  50's,  arriv- 
ing late  in  September;  Edward  Hunter's  100,  with  Jacob  Foutz  and  Joseph  Home 
as  captains  of  50's,  arriving  September  29th;  Jedediah  M.  Grant's  100,  with  Wil- 
lard  Snow  and  Joseph  B.  Noble  as  captains  of  50's,  arriving  October  2d;  The 
"Artillery  Company,"  captained  by  Charles  C.  Rich,  arriving  October  3d;  Parley 
Pratt  and  John  Taylor,  two  of  the  Apostles  also  came  with  companies,  exercising 
general  supervision — John  Taylor  arrived  at  Salt  Lake  City,  with  a  company, 
October  5th ;  beside  these  pioneers  are  their  representative  male  descendants  who 
are  subscribers  to  this  history.  Then  follows  the  portraits  of  men  who  came  in 
1848,  '49,  '50,  '51,  etc.,  in  consecutive  yearly  order  up  to  and  including  1868,  when 
the  last  wagon  train  came  all  the  way  across  the  plains  from  the  Missouri  River  to 
the  Salt  Lake  Valley.  Following  these  come  the  stake  presidents  and  bishops, 
arranged  alphabetically,  then  governors,  and  prominent  men  who  came  to  Utah  after 
1868,  arranged  alphabetically. 

This  portrait  arrangement  will  show  each  person  followed  by  his  representa- 
tive male  descendants  in  his  respective  place,  according  to  the  day  and  year  of  his 
arrival  in  Utah — as  near  as  it  was  possible  to  arrange  them — if  he,  or  his  descend- 
ants are  subscribers  to  this  history. 

Following  the  portraits  are  the  genealogies,  arranged  alphabetically,  after 
which  comes  the  history  of  the  Church,  chronologically  arranged,  from  the  birth  of 
the  Prophet  Joseph  Smith  in  1805,  to  1863,  also  the  portraits  of  the  Prophet  Joseph 
Smith  and  Patriarch  Hyrum  Smith,  the  genealogies  of  their  families  and  their 
lineal  ancestry. 

It  was  the  intention  of  the  author  in  the  beginning  of  the  preparation   for 

NOTE.— Utah  (Yuta)  at  the  time  the  pioneers  settled  in  the  Great  Salt  Lake  Valley,  comprised 
the  territory  now  orfupied  hy  Utah,  Idaho,  Montana,  Eastern  Washington,  Eastern  Oregon,  Nevada, 
Northern  Arizona,  Northern  New  Mexico,  Western  Colorado  and  Western  Wyoming. 

10 


this  volume  to  publish  the  portrait  of  the  Pioneer  and  his  representative  male 
descendant,  and  prominent  men  with  four  lines  of  reading  matter  underneath  the 
portrait.  After  a  year's  labor,  it  was  discovered  that  the  genealogies  of  the 
Pioneers  of  Utah  were  so  closely  and  intricately  interwoven,  that  an  accessible 
record  was  very  much  in  need  of  by  them,  and  it  was  decided  to  print  the  genealo- 
gies of  these  Pioneer  families  in  connection  with  the  portraits ;  this  more  than  dou- 
bled the  labor  and  expense  of  production.  He  now  presents  to  the  subscriber  for 
this  volume,  nearly  six  thousand  portraits  and  many  more  genealogies. 

At  the  conclusion  of  this  labor,  the  author  is  justly  proud  of  the  achievement, 
as  in  presenting  it,  he  offers  to  the  world  a  book  unique  and  incomparable  to  any 
that  has  heretofore  been  issued.  This  is  because  a  similar  opportunity  for  such  a 
volume  has  not  heretofore  been  offered  an  author,  as  no  other  people  but  those  of 
the  faith  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints  have  ever  gone  forth 
into  a  wilderness  in  the  mountains  and  created  an  empire,  and  there  remained 
generation  after  generation  and  enjoyed  the  fruits  of  their  labor.  On  account 
of  their  belief  in  plural  marriage,  they  have  left  a  posterity  large  enough,  at  a 
date  sixty-five  years  subsequent  to  the  first  settlement,  that  nearly  all  the  lead- 
ing men  of  that  early  pioneering  has  a  male  descendant.  Again,  their  posterity  has 
been  held  within  the  confines  of  the  empire  they  built,  because  they  did  not  care  to 
wander  from  their  homes  and  religious  ties.  These  conditions  made  the  gathering 
of  this  data  possible,  as  in  no  other  place  to  our  knowledge  has  the  pioneer  re- 
mained as  the  permanent  settler. 

The  author  is  also  proud  of  this  volume  because  it  will  live  as  a  memorial  to 
those  men  whose  deeds  were  rapidly  being  forgotten.  The  story  of  the  leaders 
has  been  told  repeatedly,  but  that  of  the  rank  and  file,  the  ones  who  did  the 
actual  pioneering  and  building  has  not  been  told  before.  This  will  cause  them  to  live 
on  perpetually,  and  each  succeeding  generation  will  know  their  labors ;  their  deeds 
will  increase  in  miraculousness ;  their  valor  will  be  more  greatly  appreciated ;  their 
heroisms  stand  out  unprecedented,  showing  the  quality  of  the  men  who  dared  to 
turn  their  faces  toward  an  unknown  desert  and  to  build  homes,  and  an  empire. 

Having  stated  what  the  History  contains  and  why  it  was  possible  for  it  to  be 
produced,  the  query  which  arises  in  one's  mind  is:  "How  could  such  a  gigantic 
undertaking  be  completed?"  The  author  was  fully  inspired  with  the  belief  that  he 
was  producing  what  a  great  people  wanted  and  needed,  his  absolute  confidence  in, 
and  his  knowledge  of,  these  people,  their  great  love  for  their  ancestors  and  their 
posterity,  and  their  church, ever  impelled  him  onward  to  a  successful  conclusion  of 
his  self-assumed  labor.  After  a  year  of  gathering  material  and  data  in  Salt  Lake 
City,  a  year  was  spent  in  Weber  and  Utah  Counties  in  the  same  quest.  Then  a 
thorough  search  was  started,  as  a  beginning  to  the  end;  the  Bishop  of  every 
ward  from  Yellowstone  National  Park  and  Upper  Oregon  on  the  north  and  north- 
west to  Vernal,  Emery  and  St.  George  on  the  south  and  southeast  in  Utah,  was 
visited.  In  almost  every  instance  an  application  for  a  volume  was  given  by  the 
Bishop  of  the  ward  and  he  gratuitously  furnished  the  author  with  the  names  of  the 
Pioneers  who  had  died  in  his  ward,  and  the  names  of  their  representative  male 
descendants,  also  the  names  of  the  Pioneers  who  were  living  in  his  ward  and  the 
names  of  their  representative  male  descendants.  Nearly  a  year  was  required  in 
making  these  visits.  After  this  organization  was  perfected,  the  author,  assisted  by 
a  corps  of  solicitors  visited  each  house  in  every  ward  in  all  of  the  stakes  in  the  terri- 
tory above  mentioned,  where  a  Pioneer  or  the  descendant  of  a  Pioneer  lived  as  given 
him  by  the  Bishop  of  the  ward,  or  could  be  secured  from  inquiry,  and  gathered  the 
portraits  and  genealogies  as  complete  as  it  was  possible  to  so  do,  and  arranged  for 
the  information  unobtainable  at  that  time  to  be  sent  to  him.  The  gathering  of 
this  data,  which  could  be  acquired  in  no  other  manner,  probably  required  more  than 
fifty  thousand  calls,  the  assistance  of  every  photographer  in  the  territory,  the 
traveling  of  thousands  of  miles,  which  was  made  over  every  kind  of  roads  in  all 
kinds  of  weather,  and  by  every  mode  of  conveyance.  He  made  one  continuous  trip 
by  team  in  Southern  Utah  of  1,385  miles,  without  being  in  touch  with  a  railroad. 
This  was  from  October  to  the  last  of  January.  After  this  data  had  been  gathered, 

11 


it  was  necessary  to  re-write  it  in  duplicate  and  submit  a  copy  to  the  one  who  fur- 
nished the  geneaolgy  and  biography,  and  the  correspondence  in  connection  with 
that  and  other  phases  of  the  publication  required  more  than  fifty  thousand  letters. 

There  are  some  of  the  old  families  who  are  not  represented  in  this  History. 
We  are  very  proud  to  say  that  they  are  few.  While  the  rule  laid  down  for  the 
production  of  this  History  was  that  every  family  who  was  represented  in  it  must 
make  a  subscription  to  it  to  help  defray  the  expenses  of  producing  it,  yet  hundreds 
of  photographs  have  been  entered,  and  genealogies  published  of  those  Pioneer  men 
who  have  left  no  male  descendants  to  represent  them.  In  fact,  no  one  has  been  left 
out  of  it  because  they  were  unable  financially  to  make  a  subscription.  In  every 
case  where  the  Bishop  advised  us  that  the  family  was  not  able  to  make  a  subscrip- 
tion the  Pioneer  has  been  put  in  this  history  by  us  with  as  much  care  as  though 
he  were  a  subscriber. 

The  author  is  thankful  to  many  for  assistance  rendered  him.  He  is  thank- 
ful to  James  G.  McAllister,  who  rendered  him  the  first  assistance  in  the  initiative 
of  the  work  and  continuously  to  its  completion;  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Utah  Pioneers  Book  Publishing  Company,  namely:  Francis  M.  Lyman,  James  G. 
McAllister,  Geo.  T.  Odell,  C.  B.  Stewart,  Governor  William  Spry,  O.  C.  Beebe, 
W.  Lester  Mangum  and  Jesse  Knight  for  their  wisdom  and  guidance,  and  for  the 
last  named  gentleman,  words  cannot  express  his  gratitude  and  thankfulness  for  an 
aid  and  an  assistance  given  him,  when  all  other  channels  seemed  closed,  that  fur- 
nished the  finance  necessary  for  the  completion  of  this  volume.  The  author  sin- 
cerely believes  that  this  aid  was  rendered  him  wholly  because  Mr.  Knight  believes 
this  volume  will  live  as  a  memorial  to  the  Pioneer;  as  an  aid  to  the  living  by  giving 
their  relationship  one  to  another,  and  a  blessing  to  those  unborn  by  placing  a  record 
before  them  showing  they  descended  from  the  founders  of  Utah,  and  the  builders 
of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints,  that  he  does  not  feel  that  his 
possessions  are  given  him  especially  to  have  and  to  hold,  but  that  he  may  do  great 
good  with  them  while  they  are  entrusted  to  his  keeping. 

The  author  is  thankful  for  assistance  received  from  Ernest  H.  Rich,  Oscar 
B.  Madson,  John  Q.  Critchlow,  W.  W.  Browning.  He  is  indebted  to  the  Presi- 
dents of  stakes  and  almost  every  Bishop  under  the  dominion  of  the  Church,  for  in- 
formation given  and  kindnesses  extended  to  him  while  in  their  wards.  He  is  also 
indebted  to,  and  thankful  for,  the  assistance  rendered  by  each  subscriber  to  this 
volume,  as  only  for  their  kindnesses,  interest  and  painstaking  assistance  in  com- 
piling these  genealogies  and  biographies  could  this  data  have  been  obtained,  as  more 
than  fifty  per  cent,  of  it  came  from  the  memory  of  some  one  in  or  who  was  familiar 
with  the  family,  and  which  information  has  never  heretofore  been  indited  or  made 
accessible  to  those  to  whom  it  pertains. 

The  author  has  had  for  his  constant  companions  in  this  labor  during  the  last 
seven  years,  those  people  who  are  most  frequently  spoken  of  as  the  "Mormons." 
They  among  themselves  have  two  definitions  for  the  word  "Mormon" — first,  it  is 
applied  to  all  of  the  people  who  have  embraced  the  religion,  or  have  been  born  into 
the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints;  second,  the  more  religious  ones 
who  bear  this  name  are  known  as  "Latter-day  Saints,"  and  while  the  former  part 
of  the  expression  "Latter-day  Saints"  may  be  an  assumed  name,  the  word  "Saints" 
they  are  wholly  entitled  to,  because  of  the  life  they  live.  No  one  who  knows  these 
people,  as  it  has  been  the  author's  good  fortune  to  know  them,  can  have  but  the  high- 
est regard  for  them  as  a  people,  he  cannot  help  but  believe  in  their  sincerity  in 
their  religion,  and  he  absolutely  knows  that  they  are  trying  to  live  a  righteous  life 
and  that  the  teachings  of  Jesus  Christ  are  constantly  before  them,  as  their  example 
to  live  by. 

That  these  Pioneers  have  established  a  state  and  a  religion  is  sufficient  com- 
mendation of  their  worth.  Any  man  might  spend  even  more  years  than  the  author 
has,  in  making  their  deeds  and  actions  a  matter  of  record,  to  live  as  an  unparalleled 
example  of  pioneering  and  successful  endeavor  in  church  building.

CAIXE,  JOHW  T.  (son  of  Thomas  Caine  and  Elinor  Cubbon 
of  the  Isle  of  Man,  Parish  of  Kirk  Patrick).  Born  Jan.  8, 
1S29,  on  the  Isle  of  Man.  Came  to  Utah  Sept.  20,  1852, 
captain  of  ten  in  the  James  McGaw  company  of  fifty 
wagons. 

Married  Margaret  Nightingale  Oct.  22,  1850,  St.  Louis,  Mo. 
(her  grandmother,  Mary  Leach,  was  the  second  woman 
baptized  into  the  L.  D.  S.  church  in  Europe.  She  lived  at 
Nauvoo,  and  later  went  to  St.  Louis). 

The  family  record  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Caine  shows  them  to 
be  the  parents  of  thirteen  children,  eight  of  whom  are 
living,  namely,  Agrnes  Ellen,  who  is  Mrs.  Arthur  Pratt;  John 
T.,  Jr.,  registrar  in  the  Utah  Agricultural  College  at  Logan; 
Albion  William,  a  rancher  near  Missoula,  Mont.;  Joseph 
Edgrar,  a  former  captain  of  the  Utah  Volunteer  Cavalry  in 
the  Philippines,  afterward  cashier  of  the  Utah  Commercial 
and  Savings  Bank,  secretary  Salt  Lake  Commercial  Club; 
and  at  this  time  secretary  Oakland  (Cal.)  Commercial  Club; 
Julia  Dean,  Mrs.  George  D.  Alder;  Charles  Arthur,  secre- 
tary of  the  Caine  &  Hooper  Co.;  Florence  Nightingale,  Mrs. 
Will  G.  Farrell;  Margaret  Nightingale,  and  Mrs.  William 
G.  Patrick. 

He  was  a  school  teacher  in  Utah;  missionary  to  Sandwich 
Islands;  actor,  stage  manager  and  editor  at  Salt  Lake  City; 
territorial  legislator;  University  regent  and  city  recorder 
— such  is  a  partial  epitome  of  the  pre-delegate  record  of 
this  self-made  man,  rising  step  by  step  from  the  humblest 
walks  of  life  to  the  high  and  honorable  position  of  United 
States  Congressman  from  Utah.  As  missionary  to  the 
Hawaiian  mission,  where  he  presided  over  the  Oahu  con- 
ference, the  climate  did  not  agree  with  him,  and  President 
Young  recalled  him.  Reaching  Utah  October,  1856,  he  was 
made  secretary  of  the  legislature  in  session  at  Fillmore, 
which  adjourned  to  Salt  Lake  City,  and  was  with  that  body 
until  its  adjournment.  He  was  secretary  of  a  commission 
appointed  by  this  legislature  to  codify  the  United  States 
laws  applicable  to  territories.  He  held  the  same  positions 
in  the  legislatures  for  many  years  afterwards.  He  was  also 
military  secretary  (with  the  rank  of  lieutenant-colonel)  on 
the  staff  of  Gen.  Daniel  Wells,  commanding  the  Nauvoo 
Legion,  and  once  a  private  clerk  to  President  Brigham 

Delegated  to  carry  a  protest  from  the  people  of  Utah  to 
Washington,  D.  C.,  against  the  Cullom  bill,  then  pending  In 
Congress,  he  created  much  favorable  comment.  Manager  of 
Salt  Lake  Herald,  established  1872,  and  third  owner;  mem- 
ber constitutional  convention  of  1882;  elected  to  congress 
that  year,  taking  his  seat  March,  1883;  presided  over  the 
constitutional  conventional  of  1887,  and  strongly  urged  the 
adoption  of  a  clause  in  the  proposed  constitution  prohibiting 
polygamy,  believing  this  to  be  the  true  solution  of  the 
"Mormon"  problem,  and  the  only  course  that  would  satisfy 
the  government  of  the  United  States. 

•  He  presented  the  constitution  and  Its  accompanying 
documents  to  Congress,  and  on  Feb.  18,  1888,  before  the 
Senate  committee  on  territories,  made  a  strong  argument  in 
support  of  the  honesty  and  sincerity  of  the  people  of  l 
in  proposing  this  solution  of  the  vexing  question.  During 
the  same  year,  on  the  25th  of  August  and  the  4th  of  Octo- 
ber, he  delivered  in  the  House  his  noted  speeches,  "Poly- 
gamy in  Utah  a  Dead  Issue,"  and  "Mormon  Facts  Versus 
Anti-Mormon  Fictions."  In  the  beginning  of  1889  he  made 
an  able  and  forcible  argument  before  the  House  committee 
on  territories  in  favor  of  Utah's  admission  as  a  State.  All 
the  while,  in  and  out  of  Congress,  he  was  stemming  a  per- 
fect torrent  of  anti-Utah  measures,  one  of  which,  by  Senator 
Paddock  of  Nebraska,  an  ex-member  of  the  Utah  Commis- 
sion, proposed  the  redlstricting  and  reapportionment  of  Salt 
Lake  City  by  the  governor,  secretary  and  members  of  that 
commission,  in  such  a  way  as  to  give  the  "Liberals"  control 
of  the  city  government.  Senator  Cullom,  of  Illinois,  and 
Delegate  Dubois,  of  Idaho,  presented  legislative  commission 
bills  Mr.  Caine's  plea  to  senators  and  members  was  that 
they  should  wait  and  see  If  the  Edmunds-Tucker  law  would 
not  accomplish  all  that  was  desired  In  the  settlement  of 
the  "Mormon"  question.  He  introduced  a  bill  for  an  en- 
abling act  for  Utah,  and  set  on  foot  the  movement  that 
resulted  In  the  appointment  of  a  fourth  federal  judge  for 
Utah  A  pleasant  episode  in  the  midst  of  these  stormy 
experiences  was  his  attendance,  as  Utah's  representative, 
in  New  York  City,  April  29,  30,  and  May  1,  1889,  at  the 
great  celebration  in  honor  of  the  centennial  anniversary 
of  the  inauguration  of  George  Washington  as  president  of 

The  opening  of  the  Fifty-first  Congress  found  him  at 
his  post,  fighting  the  infamous  measures  known  as  the 
Cullom  and  Struble  bills,  which  proposed  to  disfranchise 
all  members  of  the  L.  D.  S  church  who  were  American 
citizens,  and  prevent  the  naturalization  of  Mormon  aliens. 
On  April  23,  1890,  Mr.  Caine,  before  the  House  committee 
on  territories,  delivered  a  masterful  and  convincing  argu- 
ment against  the  Struble  bill,  which,  though  favorably  re- 
ported, prevented  it  from  coming  before  the  House  for 
action.  Our  delegate  and  his  congressional  friends  also 
blocked  the  way  of  the  new  Edmunds  bill,  proposing  to 
devote  the  funds  escheated  from  the  Mormon  church  to  the 
public  schools  of  Utah.  Upon  the  passage  of  the  bill  for 
the  admission  of  Idaho,  he  made  a  speech  favoring  state- 
hood for  that  Territory;  but  opposing-  those  provisions  of 
the  enabling  act  which  disfranchised  for  their  church  mem- 
bership, all  Mormons  citizens  residing  there. 

But  It  was  not  alone  in  antagonizing  measures  Inimical 
to  his  Mormon  constituents,  that  our  delegate's  zeal  and 
efficiency  were  shown.  He  fought  repeatedly  and  success- 
fully the  proposed  removal  of  the  Southern  Ute  Indians 
from  Colorado  to  Utah,  and  secured  measures  for  the  relief 
of  the  inhabitants  of  Ferron,  Richfield,  and  Morgan,  en- 


abling them  to  increase  the  area  of  their  townsite  entries 
by  filing  upon  school  lands  within  their  corporate  limits. 
He  obtained  appropriations  for  the  construction  and  com- 
pletion of  the  Utah  penitentiary,  and  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Shebit  Indians  in  Washington  county.  He  presented  bills 
for  the  erection  of  government  buildings  at  Salt  Lake  City 
and  Ogden,  for  the  creation  of  a  land  office  at  Ogden,  and 
for  the  granting  of  a  tract  of  sixty  acres  for  a  University 
site  on  the  Fort  Douglas  military  reservation.  He  also 
secured,  during  the  anti-polygamy  crusade,  presidential 
clemency  and  full  pardons  for  many  old  and  feeble  men 
who  were  undergoing  Imprisonment  in  the  prisons  of  Utah 
and  other  places. 

In  these  and  all  other  matters  requiring  executive  action 
Mr.  Caine  speaks  in  warm  terms  of  the  magnanimity  and 
high  sense  of  justice  manifested  by  President  Cleveland. 
With  the  president,  the  heads  of  departments,  and  the 
attaches  of  several  government  offices,  he  maintained  the 
most  cordial  relations.  Uniformly  dignified  and  courteous, 
he  enjoyed  the  confidence  and  respect  of  his  associates  in 
Congress,  made  no  enemies,  and  had  many  warm  friends. 
During  the  whole  of  his  experience  as  delegate  he  served 
as  a  member  of  the  National  Democratic  Campaign  com- 
mittee, representing  Utah,  and  took  an  active  part  In  all 
its  deliberations  for  the  advancement  of  Democratic  Inter- 
ests in  the  several  congressional  districts.  The  influence 
thus  gained  was  ever  at  the  command  of  his  constituents, 
and  no  citizen  of  Utah,  nor  even  of  Idaho  or  Arizona,  Mor- 
mon or  not,  ever  appealed  to  him  In  vain  for  assistance, 
when  to  give  such  assistance  was  proper  and  possible. 

To  recount  the  full  story  of  his  combats,  victories  and 
defeats  in  the  Forty-eighth,  Forty-ninth,  Fiftieth  and 
Fifty-second  Congresses,  to  each  of  which  he  was  elected 
by  an  overwhelming  majority  (his  plurality  at  the  last  elec- 
tion being  nearly  ten  thousand),  would  require  much  space. 
It  might  almost  be  said  that  a  battle  royal  was  waged  from 
start  to  finish  throughout  his  eleven  years  of  service,  the 
final  victory  coming  to  Mr.  Caine  and  the  people  for  whom 
he  faithfully  fought.  In  the  practically  unanimous  consent 
of  all  parties  to  admit  Utah  into  the  Union.  On  Jan.  7, 
1892,  he  introduced  in  the  House  the  Utah  Home  Rule  bill, 
duplicated  by  Mr.  Faulkner  in  the  Senate,  and  in  February 
considered  by  the  Senate  and  House  committees  on  ter- 
ritories. Delegations  from  Utah,  introduced  by  Mr.  Caine, 
spoke  for  and  against  the  measure:  H.  W.  Smith,  C.  C. 
Richards,  J.  W.  Judd,  F.  S.  Richards,  T.  J.  Anderson,  J.  L. 
Rawlins,  F.  H.  Dyer,  and  ex-Governor  West,  in  favor  of  It, 
and  O.  W.  Powers,  C.  E.  Allen,  C.  W.  Bennett  and  John 
Henry  Smith  in  opposition.  The  latter  two  argued  in  favor 
of  statehood  rather  than  against  home  rule.  Before  the 
Senate  committee,  Delegate  Caine  read  the  Mormon  petition 
for  amnesty,  dated  Dec.  19,  1891,  and  signed  by  the  First 
Presidency  and  Twelve  Apostles,  thus  securing  Its  publi- 
cation as  a  part  of  the  proceedings.  He  worked  zealously 
for  the  Home  Rule  bill,  and  on  July  8,  1892,  saw  It  pass  the 
House,  thus  clearing  the  way  for  Statehood. 

Upon  the  dissolution  of  the  "People's"  and  "Liberal" 
parties,  Mr.  Caine,  who  had  always  been  a  Democrat  in 
spirit,  became  identified  with  and  one  of  the  leaders  of  the 
Democratic  party  of  Utah.  In  June,  1892,  he  attended  as  a 
delegate  the  National  Democratic  convention  at  Chicago 
which  nominated  Grover  Cleveland  for  his  second  term 
as  president.  There  was  a  contesting  delegation,  headed  by 
Judge  Powers,  representing  the  "Tuscarora  Society,"  mostly 
Democratic  members  of  the  fast  dying  "Liberal"  party.  Mr. 
Caine's  acquaintance  and  influence  with  public  men,  mem- 
bers of  the  convention,  was  largely  Instrumental  in  seating 
the  regular  delegates — Judge  Henry  P.  Henderson  and  him- 
self. As  a  member  of  the  committee  on  platform  and  resolu- 
tions, he  secured  a  clause  in  the  platform  favoring  state- 
hood for  all  the  Territories  having  the  requisite  qualifica- 
tions. Back  again  in  Congress,  Jan.  14,  1893,  he  introduced 
in  the  House,  a  bill  for  an  enabling  act  to  admit  Utah  Into 
the  Union,  and  a  similar  bill  at  his  request  was  introduced 
by  Mr.  Faulkner  in  the  Senate.  It  failed  of  passage  owing 
to  the  flood  of  business  at  the  close  of  that  session,  and  the 
change  of  administration,  but  practically  identical  with  it 
was  the  bill  that  became  a  law  in  the  next  Congress. 

With  statehood  in  sight — the  public  boom  for  which  he 
had  toiled  so  long  and  faithfully — Delegate  Caine  was  the 
logical  candidate  for  re-election  1892,  but  it  being  sug- 
gested to  him  by  personal  friends  among  his  fellow  parti- 
sans, after  the  organization  of  the  Democratic  party  of 
Utah,  that  in  order  to  show  the  country  that  the  dissolu- 
tion of  the  "People's"  party  was  an  honest  reality,  it  would 
be  advisable  to  nominate  a  non-Mormon  for  delegate,  he 
willingly  sacrificed  his  own  political  interests,  and  heartily 
joined  in  the  nomination  and  zealously  worked  for  the  elec- 
tion of  Hon.  Joseph  L.  Rawlins.  The  next  year  Utah  went 
Republican,  that  party  electing  a  majority  of  the  members 
of  the  legislature.  Fearing  the  effect  upon  Congress,  which 
was  strongly  Democratic,  and  was  then  considering  the 
Utah  Statehood  bill,  which  passed  the  House  in  December 
of  that  year,  Mr.  Caine  was  prevailed  upon  by  prominent 
Utah  Democrats,  in  January,  1894,  to  take  a  trip  to  Wash- 
ington and  consult  with  Democratic  leaders  in  Congress 
over  the  Utah  situation.  The  result  was  all  that  could  be 
desired.  While  those  leaders  were  disappointed  at  the  out- 
come of  the  election,  they  declared  that  the  Territory  had 
all  the  qualifications  for  Statehood,  and  was  entitled  to 
admission  Into  the  Union.  The  enabling-  act  passed  the 
Senate  In  July,  1894,  and  on  the  16th  of  that  month  was  ap- 
proved by  President  Cleveland. 

As  Chairman  of  the  Democratic  territorial  committee,  Mr. 
Caine,  In  the  fall  of  the  same  year,  waged  an  energetic 
campaign,  many  Democrats  being  elected  to  the  constltu-

tional  convention,  which,  however,  had  a  Republican  ma- 
jority; that  party  also  elected  the  delegate  to  Congress, 
Hon.  Frank  J.  Cannon.  In  August,  1895,  Mr.  Caine  again 
went  east  In  the  interest  of  his  party.  At  the  Democratic 
convention  for  the  nomination  of  State  officers,  held  at 
Ogden,  in  anticipation  of  Statehood,  on  the  5th  of  Septem- 
ber, he  was  almost  unanimously  nominated  for  Governor, 
but  in  the  election,  after  a  thorough  canvass  of  the  Terri- 
tory with  Hon.  B.  H.  Roberts,  he  shared  the  fate  of  his 
party,  receiving  18,519  votes  as  against  20,833  cast  for  the 
successful  Republican  candidate,  Hon.  Heber  M.  Wells. 
In  1896  he  was  nominated  for  the  State  Senate  and  elected, 
receiving  a  majority  of  3,820  votes  over  any  senatorial 
candidate  on  the  opposition  ticket.  He  served  but  one  ses- 
sion in  the  Senate,  having  drawn  the  short,  or  one-year 
term. 

In  the  interim  of  retiring  from  Congress  in  March,  1893, 
and  the  advent  of  statehood  in  1896,  Mr.  Caine  was  Auditor 
of  Public  Accounts  for  the  Territory.  He  was  afterwards 
superintendent  of  waterworks  for  Salt  Lake  City.  In  busi- 
ness life  he  has  also  figured  prominently.  He  was  one  of 
the  original  stockholders  and  directors  of  Zion's  Savings 
Bank  and  Trust  Company,  and  is  a  director,  secretary  and 
treasurer  of  the  Josepa  Agricultural  and  Stock  Company, 
promoting  the  settlement  of  native  Hawaiians  on  a  large 
ranch  in  Skull  Valley.

PIONEERS  AND  PROMINENT  MEN  OF  UTAH 


987 


In  connection  with  the  above  genealogy  the  following  Is 
from  the  Life  of  Heber  C.  Kimball,  by  Orson  F.  Whitney. 

"In  the  foregoing  lists  we  have  classed  together  the 
wives  who  were  the  mothers  of  his  children.  Besides  these 
there  were  many  others,  most  of  them  aged  ladies  and 
widows  whom  he  merely  supported,  without  living  with 
them.  Following  is  a  list  of  their  names:  Mary  Fielding 
Smith  (widow  of  Hyrum  Smith,  sealed  to  Heber  for  time), 
Margaret  McMinn,  Hannah  Moon,  Dorothy  Moon,  Adelia 
Wilcox,  Huldah  Barnes,  Eliza  Cravath,  Mary  Ann  Shefflin, 
Charlotte  Chase,  Theresa  Morley,  Ruth  L.  Pierce,  Maria 
Winchester,  Laura  Pitkin,  Abigail  Pitkin,  Ruth  Welling- 
ton, Abigail  Buchanan,  Sophronia  Harmon,  Sarah  Stiles, 
Elizabeth  Hereford,  Rebecca  Williams,  Sarah  Buckwater, 
Mary  Dull. 

Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  Heber  C.  Kimball  was  the 
husband  of  forty-five  wives  (at  the  funeral  of  his  wife 
Vilate,  Heber,  pointing  to  the  coffin,  said:  "There  lies  a 
woman  who  has  given  me  forty-four  wives.")  and  the 
father  of  sixty-five  children.  Truly  a  patriarchal  house- 
.hold. 

It  may  well  be  surmised  that  the  government  and  sup- 
port of  a  family  of  such  dimensions  were  no  small  tax  upon 
the  wisdom,  patience  and  provident  care  of  even  the  wisest 
and  most  opulent.  Forever  banished  be  the  thought — 
aspersion  upon  reason  and  consistency  as  it  is — that  self- 
seeking,  ease-desiring  human  nature  would  take  upon  Itself 
such  burdens  and  responsibilities  from  any  motive  less 
honorable  and  pure  than  that  which  Mormonism  main- 
tains is  the  true  one.  Luxury  and  lust  go  frequently  hand 
In  hand:  licentiousness  and  honest  toil  but  rarely. 

Heber  C.  Kimball  was  a  man  of  Industry,  a  man  of 
•virtue,  of  self-denial,  who  would  sooner  have  thought  of 
severing  his  right  hand  from  his  body,  than  to  have 
cherished  an  unchaste  sentiment,  or  sacrificed  a  principle 
to  sin  or  selfish  ease.  He  was  often  heard  to  declare  that 
the  plural  order  of  marriage,  with  Its  manifold  cares  and 
perplexities,  had  cost  him  "bushels  of  tears." 

Yet  his  was  an  exemplary  family — as  much  so  as  any 
In  all  Israel,  polygamous  or  otherwise.  His  wives  loved 
each  other  as  sisters,  and  dwelt  together  in  peace  and 
unity;  while  his  children,  especially  the  males,  sons  of 
various  mothers,  clung  together  with  an  affection  all  but 
clannish  in  its  intensity.  Woe  betide  the  luckless  wight, 
who  even  in  childhood's  days,  imposed  upon  a 
boy  "  The  whole  family  of  urchins  would  resent  the  Insult, 
and  that,  too,  with  pluckiness  surpassing  even  their 

Family  prayer  was  an  Institution  In  the  Kimball  house- 
hold. Morning  and  evening  the  members  were  called  In  to 
surround  the  family  altar  and  offer  up  praise  and  peti- 
tions to  the  Throne  of  Grace.  It  is  a  common  remark 
to  this  day  that  such  prayers  are  seldom  heard  as  were 
wont  to  issue  from  the  heart  and  lips  of  Heber  C.  Kim- 
ball Reverence  for  Deity  was  one  of  the  noticeable  features 
that  the  God  to  whom  he  prayed  was  a  being  "near  at  hand 
and  not  afar  off."  He  worshiped  not  as  "a  worm  of  the 
dust "  hypocritically  meek  and  lowly,  or  as  one  con- 
scious of  naught  but  the  meanness  of  his  nature,  and  the 
absence  of  merit  in  his  cause.  But  in  a  spirit  truly  humble, 
confessing  his  sins,  yet  knowing  something  of  the  nobility 
of  his  soul,  he  talked  with  God  "as  one  man  talketh  with 
another";  and  often  with  the  ease  and  familiarity  of  an 

°  On  "no  occasion,  while  offering  up  an  earnest  appeal  In 
behalf  of  certain  of  his  fellow-creatures,  he  startled  the 
kneeling  circle  by  bursting  into  a  loud  laugh  in  the  very 
m"dst  of  his  prayer.  Quickly  regaining  his  composure 
and  solemn  address,  he  remarked,  apologetically:  Lord, 
it  makes  me  laugh  to  pray  about  some  people. 

Heber  loved  his  children,  and  was  justly  proud  of  his 
numerous  noble  posterity.  If  at  times  he  appeared  stern, 
and  was  severe  in  his  correction,  it  was  not  that  he  loved 
them  less,  but  their  welfare  and  salvation  more^  He  made 
no  compromise  with  sin,  but  nipped  it  in  the  bud,  though 
the  soil  wherein  It  grew  were  the  hearts  of  his  dearest 
friends  and  relations.  His  greatest  desire  for  his  family 
was  that  they  should  be  humble  virtuous  and  God-fearing. 
The  riches,  fashions,  and  even  culture  of  the  world  were  as 
nothing  in  his  eyes,  compared  with  honesty,  morality  and 
the  treasures  of  eternal  truth. 

Nor  was  he  morose  and  sullen,  because  thus  sober- 
minded  and  religious.  Mingling  with  his  deeply  earnest, 
profoundly  solemn  nature  was  a  keen  sense  of  humor,  a 
continuous  play  of  mirth,  like  "sunlight  gilding  the  edges

"Preaching,  colonizing,  traveling  through  the  settlements, 
encouraging  the  saints  in  their  toils  and  sacrifices,  sitting  in 
council  with  church  leaders,  ministering  in  sacred  places,  and 
in  various  other  ways  playing  the  part  of  a  public  bene- 
factor— so  wore  away  the  remaining  earthly  years  of  Presi- 
dent Kimball.  His  name  is  a  household  -word  wherever  his 
people  dwelt,  and  'Brother  Heber'  was  everywhere  honored 
and  beloved — even  the  Gentiles  esteemed  him,  admiring  his 
high  courage  and  outspoken  candor." 

He  died  at  Provo  June  22,  1868,  principally,  as  the  result

resided  Salt  Lake  City  and  Fillmore,  Utah. 

He  was  early  placed  upon  his  own  resources,  for  when 
he  was  about  two  years  old  his  father  left  home  for  the 
western  country,  never  to  return,  and  is  supposed  to  have 
died  in  New  Orleans. 

At  the  age  of  eighteen,  just  a  year  after  the  organization 
of  the  church,  he  became  somewhat  thoughtful  on  religious 
subjects.  In  the  spring  of  1832,  Lyman  E.  Johnson  and 
Orson  Pratt  visited  the  neighborhood  where  he  lived  and 
Amasa  believed  In  their  doctrine  and  was  baptised  by  the 
former  on  April  27,  1832,  being  confirmed  the  following  day 
by  Orson  Pratt. 

On  account  of  his  Joining  the  Latter-day  Saints  111  feeling 
arose  against  him,  in  his  uncle's  family  where  he  resided, 
and  for  that  reason  he  sot  off  for  a  journey  with  only 
scanty  provisions  and  clothing.  He  arrived  at  Lyons,  Wayne 
Co.,  New  York,  and  hired  out  to  Thomas  Lackey,  who,  by- 
the-bye,  was  the  man  who  purchased  Martin  Harris*  farm 
when  he  sold  it  to  raise  money  for  printing  the  Book  of 
Mormon.  He  only  stopped  here  a  couple  of  weeks,  and  then 
made  his  way  to  Buffalo,  and  thence  to  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and 
later  to  Hyrum,  Portage  Co.,  Ohio,  where  he  was  received  by 
Father  Johnson  and  family.  He  soon  met  the  Prophet 
Joseph  Smith  and  was  given  a  living  testimony  by  the  spirit 
that  he  was  a  man  of  God.  He  was  called  on  a  mission  on 
the  23d  of  August,  1832,  by  the  Prophet  Joseph,  who  ordained 
him  an  elder,  and  labored  during  the  following  winter  with 
Zerubabel  Snow  In  southern  Ohio  and  Cable  Co.,  Virginia. 
They  returned  to  Kirtland  early  the  following  spring  having 
added  forty  souls  to  the  church. 

He  filled  a  second  mission  with  William  F.  Gaboon,  leaving 
March  21,  1833,  and  journeying  as  far  as  Chautauqua  and 
Cattaraugus  counties,  New  York.  During  this  mission  he 
held  150  meetings  and  there  were  about  a  hundred  souls 
added  to  the  church.  While  on  this  mission  the  call  reached 
him  to  go  to  Missouri.  Arriving  in  Kirtland  on  May  1st, 
1834,  a  few  days  later  he  joined  Zion's  Camp  at  New  Portage, 
and  traveled  with  this  organization  to  Missouri,  suffering 
all  the  privations  and  difficulties  of  that  famous  trip.  Hav- 
ing attended  the  dedication  of  the  Kirtland  temple.  In  the 
spring  of  1836,  in  company  with  Elder  Nathan  Tanner  ho 
filled  another  mission  that  year  to  the  state  of  New  York. 
In  1837,  he  went  to  Missouri  and  there  experienced  all  the 
persecutions  to  which  those  of  his  belief  were  subjected. 
His  family  in  the  meantime  were  enabled  to  move  to  Illinois 
and  he  joined  them  in  March,  1839.  During  that  year  he 
made  two  dangerous  trips  to  Missouri  for  the  purpose  of 
assisting  Elder  Parley  P.  Pratt  and  his  fellow-prisoner* 
and  to  attend  to  unsettled  business. 

He  settled  in  Iowa  In  the  spring  of  1840,  building  a  cabin 
for  his  family  on  the  half-breed  Indian  tract  in  Lee  county. 
In  1841,  with  his  family,  he  moved  to  Nauvoo  and  later 
was  called  on  a  mission  to  northern  Illinois  and  Wisconsin. 
He  was  subsequently  directed  in  company  with  Peter  Haws 
to  go  on  a  mission  to  secure  means  to  build  the  Nauvoo 
temple  and  Nauvoo  House,  going  as  far  east  as  Indiana. 

In  the  spring  of  1842  he  was  sent  on  a  mission  to  the  state 
of  Tennessee  with  Horace  K.  Whitney  and  others.  On  the 
20th  of  August,  1842,  Elder  Lyman  was  ordained  to  the 
apostleship,  and  the  following  month  sent  on  a  mission 
to  southern  Illinois  in  company  with  Elder  George  A.  Smith, 
being  a  part  of  the  time  in  company  with  Brigham  Young 
and  Heber  C.  Klmball. 

He  went  through  many  of  the  privations  and  trials  at 
Nauvoo  and  filled  many  other  missions  in  the  states  around 
about.  In  the  spring  of  1844  he  went  to  Nauvoo  to  attend 
the  April  Conference,  and  It  was  here  determined  that  he 
should  go  to  Boston.  He  had  proceeded  only  as  far  as 
Cincinnati  (remaining  until  July),  when  he  received  the 
news  of  the  massacre  of  the  prophet  and  patriarch.  Joseph 
and  Hyrum  Smith.  He  was  recalled  to  Nauvoo,  arriving 
there  July  31,  1844,  and  was  present  at  the  meeting  at 
Nauvoo  on  August  8th  following  when  the  twelve  apostle* 
were  acknowledged  as  the  presiding  quorum  of  the  church. 
He  rendered  efficient  aid  during  the  exodus  of  his  people 
from  Illinois  In  1846,  and  was  one  of  the  pioneers  of  Utah 
In  1847. 

In  1848  he  led  a  large  company  of  immigrants  to  the  great 
Salt  Lake  valley.  In  1850  he  went  on  a  mission  to  California, 
returning  September  30th,  of  that  year,  and  in  1851  he  and 
Apostle  Charles  C.  Rich  were  appointed  to  lead  a  company 
of  settlers  to  California.  This  company  left  Payson,  March 
24,  1851,  and  arrived  at  San  Bernardino  the  following  June. 
It  was  a  few  months  later.  In  September,  that  the  ranch 
of  San  Bernardino  was  purchased,  and  a  settlement  was 
located.  This  was  continued  until  1857,  when  the  Johnston 
army-Echo  Canyon  hostilities  caused  it  to  disintegrate  when 
most  of  the  Inhabitants  had  gone  to  Utah. 

In  1860  he  filled  a  mission  to  Great  Britain,  arriving  July 
27th,  and  in  connection  with  Apostle  Charles  C.  Rich  pre- 
sided over  the  European  mission  until  March  14,  1862,  when 
he  returned  home.  It  was  while  on  this  mission  that  he 
delivered  the  remarkable  sermon  at  Dundee,  Scotland,  March 
16,  1862,  In  which  he  denied  the  atonement  of  the  Savior. 
Some  time  later  he  was  summoned  to  answer  the  charge  of 
having  preached  false  doctrine,  and  he  acknowledged  his 
error,  and  signed  a.  document  January  23,  1867,  In  which  he 
asked  forgiveness  of  the  authorities.  Soon  after,  however, 
he  again  preached  In  the  same  strain,  and  was  finally 
excommunicated  May  12,  1870.  He  died  at  Fillmore,  Millard 
county,  Utah,  February  4,  1877.

When  Joseph  Smith  and  his  brother  Hyrum  were  assassin- 
ated at  Carthage  jail,  in  his  native  state  of  Illinois,  President 
Francis  M.  Lyman  was  four  and  one-half  years  old.  Only 
as  a  child  would  know  and  remember  such  great  personages 
was  it  possible  for  him  to  know  them,  but  in  his  mature 
manhood  he  has  had  a  thorough  knowledge  of  all  their 
successors  and  through  them  a  better  understanding  of 
those  who  have  gone  before.  At  home  and  abroad  for  fifty 
years,  President  Lyman  has  been  in  the  missionary  service, 
beginning  the  work  at  the  age  of  twenty.  He  has  officiated 
In  the  offices  of  elder,  seventy,  high  priest  and  an  apostle 
during  the  past  thirty  years  of  his  life.  Three  missions 
In  Europe,  occupying  all  together  seven  and  one-half  years, 
have  been  filled  by  him. 

Elder  Lyman's  childhood  was  spent  in  Illinois,  Indiana, 
Nebraska,  Utah  and  California.  For  six  years  he  lived  at 
San  Bernardino,  Cal.,  and  he  was  married  there  In  1867. 
During  that  year  he  returned  to  Utah,  it  being  the  time  of 
the  Echo  Canyon  Imbroglio,  and  resided  later  in  Cedar 
City,  Beaver,  and  Farmington.  After  his  first  mission  in 
1860-2,  he  located  with  his  father  and  family,  under  the 
direction  of  President  Brigham  Young,  at  Fillmore,  and  it 
was  his  home  for  fourteen  years.  During  this  time  he  en- 
gaged enthusiastically  in  all  the  activities  of  the  people  of 
Millard  county,  being  much  of  the  time  their  public  and 
official  servant. 

On  March  23,  1866,  he  was  appointed  assistant  assessor  of 
Internal  revenue  for  District  No.  6  of  Utah,  by  Hugh 
McCulloch,  then  secretary  of  the  U.  S.  treasury.  He  served 
In  this  capacity  under  the  following  assessors:  Col.  J.  C. 
Little,  A.  L.  Chetlain,  John  E.  Smith,  Richard  V.  Morris, 
and  Dr.  John  P.  Taggart. 

It  was  in  1866  that  Elder  Lyman  with  his  father  built  the 
O.  K.  Flour  Mills  of  Fillmore,  and  he  was  largely  engaged 
in  the  flour  and  grain  trade  as  well  as  in  many  more  busi- 
ness enterprises. 

In  September,  1867,  he  was  commissioned  by  Governor 
Durkee  as  lieutenant  colonel  of  the  first  regiment  of  militia 
In  the  Pauvan  military  district.  Two  years  later,  1869,  he 
was  elected  a  member  of  the  house  of  representatives  of  the 
general  assembly  of  the  state  of  Deseret  for  Millard  county 
and  subsequently  represented  that  county  In  the  territorial 
legislature  of  Utah  In  the  17th,  18th,  22d  and  23d  sessions, 
and  Tooele  county  in  the  24th  and  25th  sessions.  In  the  25th 
session  (1882),  he  acted  ao  speaker  of  the  house,  while 
President  Joseph  F.  Smith  was  president  of  the  council 
(now  senate). 

He  served  as  high  councilor  in  Millard  stake  about  six 
years,  and  In  political  activities  occupied  the  positions  of 
district  attorney,  superintendent  of  common  schools,  county 
and  probate  clerk  and  recorder.  He  was  also  secretary  and 
treasurer  of  the  county  cooperative  companies,  and  did  the 
land  business  of  the  county,  such  as  homesteading,  pre- 
empting and  the  entering  of  townsltes  with  Probate  Judge 
Edward  Partridge  and  Mayor  Joseph  V.  Robison.  It  was 
during  the  organization  of  the  stakes  of  Zlon  by  President 
Brigham  Young  In  1877  [died  Aug.  29  of  that  year],  that 
Elder  Lyman  was  called  to  preside  over  the  Tooele  stake  of 
Zlon  when  It  was  organized  by  [Apostle]  President  John 
Taylor  and  the  other  apostles  on  June  24%  1877.  Later  he 
was  chosen  by  election  of  the  people  as  a  representative 
of  Tooele  county,  and  county  clerk  and  recorder,  serving 
In  those  positions  about  four  years.  He  had  a  most  thrilling 
experience  in  the  fight  with  the  liberals,  and  it  was  during 
his  term  of  office  that  the  people  succeeded  in  redeeming 
Tooele  county  from  their  unrighteous  rule. 

With  Elders  Erastus  Snow,  Brigham  Young,  Jr.,  and  eight 
others,  he  went  on  a  mission,  In  1880,  to  San  Juan  county, 


Utah,  and  Into  Colorado,  New  Mexico  and  Arizona.  During 
this  trip  they  traveled  1,800  miles  with  teams.  It  was 
during  this  year  and  while  at  Orderville,  Kane  county,  on 
the  10th  of  October,  that  he  was  chosen  at  the  general  semi- 
annual conference  of  the  church,  one  of  the  council  of  the 
twelve  apostles,  John  Henry  Smith  being  chosen  at  the 
same  time.  Both  were  ordained  by  President  John  Taylor 
and  Wllford  Woodruff  on  the  27th  of  October,  1880,  in  the 
Endowment  House. 

He  filled  a  second  mission  to  Europe  In  1873-4-6,  just 
before  moving  to  Tooele.  Since  he  was  chosen  an  apostle 
he  has  been  engaged  exclusively  in  the  spiritual  and  tem- 
poral welfare  of  the  people  of  the  church.  He  has  visited 
the  stakes  of  Zion  over  and  over  again  and  given  counsel 
and  advice  to  the  people  serving  towards  their  spiritual 
growth  and  strength.  In  a  temporal  way  he  has  served  as 
a  director  in  such  institutions  as  Z.  C.  M.  I.,  Zion's  Savings 
Bank  and  Trust  Company,  Consolidated  Wagon  and  Machine 
Company,  Home  Fire  Insurance  Company,  Heber  J.  Grant 
&  Company,  Deseret  National  Bank,  Beneficial  Life  Insur- 
ance Company,  Zion's  Cooperative  .Home  Building  and  Real 
Estate  Company,  president  and  director  Utah  Pioneers  Book 
Publishing  Company,  etc. 

After  the  death  of  President  Brigham  Young,  Jr.,  in 
1903,  he  was  sustained  president  of  the  council  of  the  twelve 
and  was  blessed  and  set  apart  for  that  presidency  In  the 
temple  by  President  Joseph  F.  Smith  and  his  counselors  and 
the  twelve,  on  the  7th  of  July,  1904,  since  which  time  he 
has  filled  another  mission  to  Europe,  presiding  over  the 
European  mission,  May,  1901,  to  January,  1904,  besides  labor- 
Ing  diligently  in  his  office  and  calling  at  home.  While  on 
this  last  mission,  he  not  only  visited  many  of  the  European 
countries,  including  Russia,  but  also  the  Holy  Land,  and 
Egypt,  and  wherever  he  went  he  turned  the  keys  for  the 
establishment  of  liberty  and  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel. 
His  traveling  companions  were  Elders  Sylvester  Q.  and 
Joseph  J.  Cannon.

PIONEERS  AND  PROMINENT  MEN  OF  UTAH 


Utah  (daughter  of  Orange  Warner  and  Mary  E.  Tyler, 
pioneers  October,  1851,  with  Shurtliff  part  of  the  way,  the 
remainder  alone).  She  was  born  July  13,  1852.  Their 
children:  Ruby  b  Aug.  5,  1872,  m.  Albert  W.  Davis;  Raymond 
E.  b.  Dec.  26,  1874,  m.  Ruby  Collister;  Clinton  Dewitt  b.

wood; William  Alonzo  b.  Dec.  25,  1886;  John  A.  b.  June  21, 
1891,  died.  Family  home  Fillmore,  Utah. 

John  A.  Ray  and  family  arrived  in  Fillmore,  Utah,  in  the 
spring  of  1854,  where  they  found  about  20  families  who 
had  built  a  mud  wall  10  feet  high  around  50  acres  of 
ground  for  the  protection  of  their  families  against  In- 
dians. These  Indians  were  known  at  that  time  as  the 
Walker  band.  After  the  death  of  Walker,  however,  the 
notorious  Black  Hawk  dominated  the  tribes  for  many 
years.  These  Indians  were  very  numerous  and  commit- 
ted many  depredations,  stealing  stock  and  killing  many 
people.  John  A.  Ray  was  the  first  Indian  agent  in  this 
part  of  the  country,  getting  his  appointment  in  1858.  This 
gave  his  son,  Joseph  E.  Ray,  a  splendid  opportunity  to  learn 
the  ways  of  the  red  man.  He  became  at  a  very  early 
date  an  expert  with  the  bow  and  arrow  and  sported  with 
them  in  all  their  pastimes;  in  fact,  almost  lived  with  them 
until  he  was  15  years  of  age.  He  developed  into  a  splen- 
did shot  and  a  good  horseman;  in  fact,  was  as  wild  as 
the  Indians  themselves.  Later  he  joined  the  state  militia 
and  continued  in  the  service  for  four  years  and  until  hon- 
orably discharged. 

During  these  early  days  the  white  boys  and  Indian 
papooses  had  many  battles,  using  slings  for  weapons. 

That  with  his  early  experience  with  the  bow  and  arrow, 
associated  with  a  natural  inclination  to  the  use  of  fire- 
arms, was  responsible  for  the  fact  that  he  developed  into 
an  expert  shot,  and  in  later  years  he  killed  a  great  amount 
of  game  of  all  kinds;  probably  3,000  deer. 

As  a  young  man  he  was  engaged  in  the  cattle  business, 
and  he  made  two  trips;  one  to  Abilene,  Kansas,  in  1870,  the 
other  to  Cheyenne,  Wyo.,  in  1877. 

After  he  grew  to  manhood  he  assisted  greatly  in  rid- 
ding the  country  of  many  outlaws,  among  whom  were  the 
"Ney"  and  "Ben  Tasker"  gangs.  Following  closely  upon 
the  days  of  Indian  outbreaks  came  a  period  when  the  early 
settlers  had  nearly  as  much  trouble  with  the  white  outlaws. 
Among  some  of  the  thrilling  experiences  in  which  he  figured 
conspicuously  was  the  capture  of  eight  highwaymen  about 
Jan.  20,  1883.  These  outlaws  had  held  up  a  Southern  Pacific 
train  at  Montello,  Utah,  about  100  miles  west  from  Ogden. 
They  first  captured  the  station,  stampeding  eight  Chinese 
section  men  who  fled  into  the  hills  and  froze  to  death. 
This  was  one  of  the  coldest  periods  in  the  history  of  the 
state,  the  thermometer  reaching  40  degrees  below  zero. 
These  highwaymen  flagged  the  incoming  express  train  and 
undertook  to  rob  it.  The  messenger,  however,  barricaded 
himself  in  his  car,  fought  several  hours  holding  the  robbers 
at  bay,  while  they  were  riddling  his  car  with  bullets.  When 
the  incoming  train  came  in  sight  they  retreated  in  a  south- 
erly direction.  The  next  day  they  were  pursued  by  the  sheriff 
with  a  posse,  who  were  waylaid  and  captured  by  the  robbers 
and  their  horses  and  firearms,  etc.,  taken  away,  and  they 
were  privileged  to  return  home  afoot.  On  their  retreat 
through  the  country  the  robbers  committed  a  number  of 
other  crimes.  At  Deep  Creek  they  robbed  the  Devine  store, 
and  also  entered  a  woman's  house  and  robbed  her,  who  soon 
after  died  from  fright. 

About  this  time,  J.  E.  Ray  was  making  a  farm  at  Deseret. 
One  day  six  men,  heavily  armed,  rode  into  the  town  of 
Deseret,  and  from  their  general  demeanor  it  was  immediately 
assumed  by  the  citizens  that  there  was  something  unusual 
in  their  visit.  W.  A.  Ray,  an  older  brother,  was  at  that  time 
running  a  store  in  the  small  settlement,  and  he  informed 
his  brother  Joseph  that  these  strangers  were  buying  large 
quantities  of  cartridges,  and  that  this  action  on  their  part 
looked  very  suspicious.  These  men  made  arrangements  with 
the  people  of  Deseret,  by  which  they  were  to  take  care  of 
their  horses  on  the  range.  This,  however,  was  only  a  ruse, 
and  given  for  the  purpose  of  hiding  their  identity.  It  de- 
veloped later  that  they  had  prepared  a  strong  fortification 
in  the  top  of  the  mountain  range  which  lay  to  the  north- 
west of  this  community.  John  Sharp  was  a  leading  railroad 
man  in  the  territory,  and  knowing  that  J.  E.  Ray  and  G.  W. 
Crapper  had  at  different  times  captured  outlaws,  wired 
them  to  be  on  the  alert,  and  described  these  strangers. 
Messrs.  Ray  and  Crapper  knew  immediately  that  he  had 
reference  to  the  suspicious  men  in  question.  They  at  once 
organized  a  party  to  go  out  and  intercept  them  or  attack 
them  in  their  mountain  fortification. 

This  party  left  Deseret  at  one  o'clock  on  the  morning  of 
Jan.  20,  1883,  and  rode  about  70  miles  in  a  northwesterly 
direction.  As  they  approached  the  mountains  they  stopped 
and  sent  two  of  their  men,  Edward  Craft  and  Charles  Webb, 
on  a  scouting  expedition.  These  scouts  were  captured  by  the 
outlaws  and  held  until  the  next  day,  when  they  were  re- 
lieved by  a  rescuing  party.  "The  party"  traveled  until  sunset 
in  a  northerly  direction  when  they  saw  two  men  riding 
up  a  long  draw  or  hollow.  Upon  the  first  sight  of  these 
men  they  dropped  back  under  cover,  hitched  their  horses  and 
cautiously  slipped  over  the  hills  to  a  point  of  advantage. 
As  "the  party"  came  to  the  hill  top  they  looked  down  into 
the  hollow  below,  and  at  a  distance  of  250  yards  again  saw 
these  two  men.  The  pursuing  party  was  then  directly  south 
from,  and  above  them.  They  called  to  them  to  throw  up 
their  hands.  Instead  of  surrendering,  however,  they  slipped 
off  their  horses,  dropped  their  guns  across  the  saddles  and 
opened  fire.  There  was  a  lively  exchange  of  shots  for  a 
few  minutes,  the  result  being  that  both  robbers  were  badly 
wounded  and  their  horses  killed.  At  this  juncture  two  more 


outlaws  came  in  sight,  and  they  also  were  captured.  The 
posse  was  then  about  seven  miles  from  the  fortification, 
and  the  weather  extremely  cold,  it  being  20  degrees  below 
zero.  They  could  not  make  a  fire,  for  fear  the  four  un- 
captured  men  now  in  the  stronghold  might  see  the  smoke 
and  escape.  They  waited  until  twelve  o'clock  at  night  for 
a  detachment  from  their  party,  to  get  a  wagon  and  return 
so  that  the  wounded  men  might  be  sent  to  the  railroad. 
At  three  o'clock  in  the  morning,  the  pursuing  party  was 
reenforced  by  15  other  fighting  men  from  all  over  the 
country.  They  then  proceeded  to  the  fortification,  seven 
miles  distant,  and  there  they  captured  the  remainder  of  the 
gang.  These  men  were  all  sent  to  Carson  City  prison  for 
from  12  to  15  years. 

He  was  one  of  the  pioneer  movers  in  the  opening  up  of 
lands  by  means  of  reservoir  irrigation  systems,  and  took  an 
active  part  in  purchasing  and  cultivating  large  tracts  of 
dry  farm  land.  He  has  also  assisted  in  developing  mines  at 
Rico,  Colo.,  and  in  other  places.

It  has  always  been  claimed  and  tacitly  acknowledged  by 
authorities,  that  he  was  really  the  first  of  the  advance  party 
of  "Mormon"  pioneers  to  gaze  upon  the  beauties  of  the  great 
Salt  Lake  Valley,  on  the  23d  day  of  July,  1847.  He  was  hunt- 
Ing  for  some  of  their  driving  stock  that  had  strayed  away 


dur'ng  the  night.  Arriving  on  the  top  of  the  mountain, 
which  afterward  was  called  Little  Mountain,  he  beheld  that 
strange  and  wonderful  body  of  water.  Great  Salt  Lake.  On 
looking  back  toward  the  camp,  he  is  said  to  have  discerned 
Orson  Pratt  coming  up  toward  his  view-place  on  the  crest 
of  the  mountain.  When  Pratt  came  up,  the  two  stood  and 
gazed  upon  and  admired  the  exquisite  panorama  spread  out 
in  a  marvelous  scenic  expanse.  He  then  went  on  and  drove 
In  the  stock,  and  with  them  returned  to  camp.  He  after- 
ward found  that  Pratt  had  had  Thomas  Bullock  record  him 
as  the  first  to  see  the  valley.  The  characteristic  of  the  man 
was  duty  before  glory  or  notoriety,  and  the  incident  seemed 
forgotten,  as  proper  credit  was  never  rendered.  It  was 
always  said  that  Heber  Chase  Kimball  acknowledged  that 
Redden  was  the  first  of  the  advance  company  of  "Mormons" 
to  see  the  valley. 

He  staked  and  laid  the  overland  route  from  Salt  Lake 
City  to  California,  and  the  Overland  Stage  Company  "got 
away"  with  the  road,  but  retained  the  same  names  he  had 
christened  the  rivers,  creeks,  peaks,  hills,  fords  and  loitering 
places  in  that  vast  overland  expanse  until  then  prac- 
tically unknown.  The  commerce  of  a  great  nation 
now  rolls  over  this  highway.  He  was  at  one  time  Justice 
of  the  peace  in  Tooele  county,  and  three  times  at  Summit 
county.  He  was  U.  S.  deputy  marshal  under  Leonard  Phillips 
and  was  known  in  all  the  pioneer  camps  as  a  bold  and 
fearless  man.  He  possessed  and  exhibited  those  traits  of 
character  which  were  essential  to  blazing  a  trail  or  per- 
forming the  miracle  of  reclamation  now  greeting  the  tired 
eye  of  the  traveler.  He  was  a  member  of  the  35th  quorum 
seventies  at  the  time  of  his  demise,  and  had  joined  the 
church  when  very  young.  He  was  private  detective  and 
bodyguard  to  Joseph  Smith,  saving  him  from  many  serious 
and  threatened  troubles.  He  returned  in  1847  to  Winter 
Quarters.  Justice  of  the  peace  in  Tooele  county,  and  in 
Summit  county,  Utah;  deputy  marshal  under  Leonard 
Phillips.  Died  Aug.  30,  1891,  Hoytsville,  Utah.

Co.,  Utah. 

Began  working  as  apprentice  in  shipyard  at  fifteen  years 
of  age  after  having  received  common  school  education  and 
continued  at  this  trade  seven  years.  His  father  had  pre- 
ceded him  to  America  and  he,  likewise,  turned  his  all  Into 
money  and  on  March  21,  1860,  set  sail  for  New  York  City. 
Reached  St.  Louis  May  15,  1861.  Joined  a  company  of  im- 
migrants who  were  starting  to  Utah,  arriving  In  Salt  Lake 
City  Sept.  8,  1861,  and  locating  at  Ogden  the  same  year. 
There,  after  much  hard  labor,  with  the  characteristic  energy 
for  which  he  was  noted,  he  placed  his  family  in  comfortable 
circumstances.  Soon  after  arriving  there  he  decided  the 
teachings  and  principles  of  the  Mormon  faith  were  so  en- 
tirely contrary  to  his  idea  and  belief  that  he  withdrew 
from  this  church  and  never  had  anything  further  to  do 
with  it.  However,  he  took  an  active  part  in  developing 
and  building  up  that  section  of  the  west.  He  took  up  a 
homestead  just  west  of  Ogden,  making  this  his  perma- 
nent home.  Helped  to  erect  the  first  schoolhouse  built  In 
this  section,  and  labored  incessantly  in  the  upbuilding  of 
the  industrial  life  of  Ogden.  He  died  in  September,  1894,

.  Sewell,  was  drowned  Nov.  30,  1861.  while  fording  the 
Weber  river  with  a  yoke  of  oxen.  Of  the  three  remaining 
sons  none  ever  had  any  connection  with  the  Mormon 
church,  and  like  their  father,  were  opposed  to  the  teach- 
ings of  that  faith.

incident  to  his  father's  martyrdom  and  the  driving  of  the

111.  With  his  mother  he  left  Nauvoo  in  1846  when  only  8 
years  old  and  drove  an  oxteam  across  the  state  (then  ter-

valley,  enduring  all  the  hardships  of  the  journey  over  the 
plains  and  barren  country  intervening,  and  performing1 
much  labor  that  was  required  of  the  men.  His  oppor- 
tunities for  schooling  were  limited,  and  his  early  educa- 
tion was  chiefly  acquired  from  his  mother.  She  left  him 
an  orphan  at  the  age  of  14  years.  In  1854  he  went  to 
the  Hawaiian  Islands  on  a  mission  for  the  Church  of

legislature  (1858-59),  and  upon  its  adjournment  went  to

ing in  the  ministry.  In  1864,  after  his  return  from  Eng- 
land, he  again  went  to  Hawaii  and  continued  his  eccle- 
siastical labors.  Upon  returning  to  Utah  he  served  as  a 
member  of  the  Salt  Lake  City  municipal  council  and  as 
a  member  of  the  territorial  legislature,  and  in  1882  was 
president  of  the  legislative  council.  He  presided  over  the 
constitutional  convention  held  in  Utah  in  1882,  but  was 
debarred  as  a  legislator  by  the  Edmunds  law.  He  served 
eight  years  as  a  clerk  in  the  historian's  office  and  was 
active  in  church  work,  serving  as  a  missionary  for  the 
church  and  in  various  positions  In  Davis  and  Salt  Lake 
stakes  of  Zion.  He  went  on  a  second  mission  to  Great 
Britain  in  1874,  and  on  a  third  mission  in  1877.  He  was 
ordained  an  apostle  July  1,  1866,  and  became  a  member  of 
the  council  of  the  twelve  in  1867.  In  1880  he  was  chosen 
to  be  second  counselor  to  President  John  Taylor  and  also 
served  as  counselor  to  President  Wilford  Woodruff  and

Utah. 

Married  Sarah  E.  Vincent  Dec.  17,  1884,  Salt  Lake  City. 
She  was  a  young  woman  of  strong  character,  with  a  re- 
markable educational  insight,  and  one  who  has  been  a  great 
factor  In  his  educational  career. 

He  spent  his  early  boyhood  working  on  his  father's  farm, 
and  while  the  plow  was  being  guided  by  his  youthful  hands 
upturning  the  fertile  soil,  his  thoughts  soared  upward  in 
primitive  aspirations  toward  an  ethical  ideal  »of  life  and 
education. 

He  attended  the  University  of  Deseret  at  the  age  of  20 
and  came  in  direct  and  intimate  contact'with  some  of  Utah's 
pioneers  of  education — Karl  G.  Maeser,  John  R.  Park,  J.  B. 
Toronto  and  others.  Graduating  in  1883,  he  took  up  the 
profession  of  teaching  and  his  school  became  noted  through- 
out the  state.  Instrumental  in  organizing  literary  societies, 
he  finally  accumulated  an  enormous  library.  Elected  county 
superintendent  of  schools  In  1885,  which  then  included  the 
schools  of  Salt  Lake  City. 

In  1888  he  became  a  member  of  the  Utah  University  fac- 
ulty, and  for  26  years  his  labors  were  untiring  in  building  up 
Its  departments  of  education.  He  had  the  utilitarian  idea 
of  education  and  worked  it  out  in  his  everyday  life.  Regent 
of  the  university  four  years,  he  later  was  placed  at  the 
head  of  the  normal  school  and  it  became  the  School  of  Edu- 
cation. Under  his  deft  direction  the  training  school  became 
world-famed  and  the  prominent  educators  of  the  country 
have  marveled  at  its  thoroughness  and  the  material  it  has 
turned  out  of  its  halls. 

In  1899  he  did  post-graduate  work  at  the  University  of 
Chicago,  working  with  Dr.  John  Dewey,  Colonel  Parker  and 
Dr.  Harper.  While  there  he  presented  many  papers  that 
received  marked  recognition. 

In  1897  the  University  of  Utah  conferred  upon  him  the 
degree  of  Master  of  Didactics,  a  title  well-earned  by  his 
devotion  to  the  university  and  his  marked  ability. 

Having  traveled  throughout  the  United  States,  attending: 
the  meetings  of  the  National  Education  Association,  deliver- 
ing lectures  and  presenting  papers  before  national  conven- 
tions and  meetings  of  the  national  superintendents,  he  was 


just  completing  a  new  course  of  study  and  had  worked  out 
an  entirely  new  scheme  of  industrial  work  for  Utah,  when 
his  exemplary  life  closed  June  26,  1913,  mourned  by  thou- 
sands throughout  the  United  States.

Married  Leonora  Cannon  Jan.  28,  1833,  Toronto,  Canada 
(daughter  of  George  Cannon  of  Peel,  Isle  of  Man).  Among 
their  children  was:  John  W.  b.  Dec.  17,  1834,  m.  Jane 
Tenant;  m.  Mary  Young. 

Married  Mary  Ann  Oakley.  Among  their  children  was: 
Henry  Edgar  b.  Dec,  26,  1849. 

At  the  age  of  fourteen  he  became  a  cooper's  apprentice 
In  Liverpool,  and  subsequently  learned  the  turner's  trade 
at  Penrith,  in  Cumberland.  He  received  his  first  schooling 
at  the  village  of  Hale,  Westmorland,  where  his  parents 
lived  on  a  small  estate  bequeathed  to  the  head  of  the  house 
by  an  uncle.  In  1830  he  emigrated  to  America,  following 
his  parents,  who  were  then  residing  at  Toronto,  Upper  Can- 
ada. He  was  baptized  into  the  Mormon  Church  May  9,  1836, 
at  Toronto,  Canada,  and  ordained  an  elder  by  Apostle  Parley 
P.  Pratt;  shortly  afterward  he  was  set  apart  to  preside 
over  the  Church  in  Upper  Canada.  In  March,  1837,  he  visited 
Kirtland,  where  he  first  met  the  Prophet  Joseph  Smith,  and 
was  his  guest  while  sojourning  there.  He  attended  a  meet- 
Ing  in  the  temple,  at  which  Warren  Parrish  made  a  violent 
attack  upon  the  Prophet.  Elder  Taylor  defended  the  absent 
Prophet  and  endeavored  to  pour  oil  upon  the  troubled 
waters.  He  was  ordained  a  high  priest  Aug.  31,  1837.  In 
1838  he  removed  to  'Kirtland,  proceeding  thence  in  the 
general  exodus  of  the  Saints  to  Missouri.  At  DeWitt,  Car- 
rol Co.,  Mo.,  he  and  his  party,  numbering  twenty-four,  were 
confronted  by  an  armed  mob  of  one  hundred  and  fifty,  led 
by  Abbott  Hancock  and  Sashiel  Woods,  the  former  a  Baptist, 
the  latter  Presbyterian  minister,  who,  after  some  parleying, 
retired  and  permitted  them  to  continue  on  to  Far  West. 
He  was  a  witness  to  the  outrages  perpetrated  by  the  Mis- 
eourlans  upon  the  new  settlers,  and  a  participant  in  the 
scenes  of  peril  and  disaster  ending  in  the  imprisonment 
of  the  Prophet  and  other  leaders  and  the  expulsion  of  the 
Mormon  community  from  the  state.  That  he  bravely  and 
unflinchingly  bore  his  part  of  the  general  burden  of  sorrow 
and  trial  we  may  be  sure.  John  Taylor  knew  no  fear,  and 
shirked  no  responsibility  or  sacrifice  that  his  duty  entailed. 

In  the  fall  of  1837  he  was  told  by  the  Prophet  that  he 
would  be  chosen  an  apostle,  and  at  a  conference  In  Far  West, 
October,  1838,  It  was  voted  that  he  fill  the  vacancy  occa- 
sioned by  the  apostasy  of  John  S.  Boynton.  The  High 
Council  at  Far  West  took  similar  action  on  the  19th  of 
December,  and  on  that  day  John  Taylor  was  ordained  an 
apostle  by  Brigham  Young  and  Heber  C.  Klmball.  He 
was  one  of  the  committee  appointed  to  memorialize  the 
Missouri  Legislature  for -redress  of  grievances,  and  was 
also  appointed  with  Bishop  Edward  Partridge  to  draft  a 
similar  petition  to  the  general  government.  He  assisted 
President  Young  to  superintend  the  exodus  of  the  Saints 
from  Missouri,  and  was  with  him  and  others  of  the  Twelve 
when  they  made  their  famous  ride  from  Quincy  to  Far 
West,  prior  to  starting  upon  their  mission  to  Great  Britain. 
He  started  upon  this  mission  Aug.  8,  1839.  At  Nauvoo  he 
was  joined  by  Wilford  Woodruff,  and  these  two  were  the 
first  of  the  Twelve  to  sail.  They  landed  at  Liverpool  on 
Jan.  llth,  1840,  and  at  a  council  held  at  Preston,  it  was 
decided  that  John  Taylor  should  labor  In  Liverpool,  with 
Elder  Joseph  Fielding.  He  was  appointed  a  member  of 
the  committee  to  select  hymns  and  compile  a  hymn  book 
for  the  Latter-Day  Saints.  In  July,  1840,  he  passed  over 
to  Ireland,  and  preached  in  the  court  house  at  Newry, 
County  Down.  This  was  the  introduction  of  Mormonism 
In  the  Emerald  Isle,  the  first  convert  being  Thomas  Tate. 
He  next  went  to  Glasgow,  and  after  preaching  to  the 
76 


Saints  In  that  city,  returned  to  Liverpool  and  delivered 
a  course  of  lectures  at  the  music  hall  In  Bold  street.  On 
September  16th,  he,  with  elders  Hiram  Clark  and  William 
Mitchell,  sailed  for  the  Isle  of  Man.  He  delivered  a  course 
of  lectures,  baptized  a  goodly  number,  organized  a  branch, 
and  then  returned  to  Liverpool.  He  returned  to  America 
•  with  President  Young  and  other  apostles,  arriving  at  Nau- 
voo, July  1,  1841. 

At  Nauvoo  he  was  a  member  of  the  city  council,  one  of 
the  Regents  of  the  University,  Judge  Advocate  with  the 
rank  of  Colonel  in  the  Nauvoo  Legion,  associate  editor 
and  afterwards  chief  editor  of  the  "Times  and  Seasons." 
He  was  also  editor  and  proprietor  of  the  "Nauvoo  Neighbor," 
in  the  columns  of  which  paper,  in  February,  1844,  he  nomi- 
nated Joseph  Smith  for  the  Presidency  of  the  United  States. 
He,  with  Willard  Richards,  voluntarily  shared  the  im- 
prisonment with  the  Prophet  and  Patriarch.  While  in  prison 
he  sang  a  hymn  to  raise  their  drooping  spirits,  and  soon 
after  the  jail  was  assaulted  by  the  mob  who  shot  to  death 
the  Prophet  and  Patriarch.  In  the  midst  of  the  melee 
the  apostle  stood  at  the  door  with  a  heavy  walking  stick, 
beating  down  the  muskets  of  the  assassins  that  were  belch- 
Ing  deadly  volleys  Into  the  room.  After  Joseph  and  Hyrum 
were  dead,  he  himself  was  struck  by  a  ball  In  the  left 
thigh,  while  preparing  to  leap  from  the  window  whence  the 
Prophet  had  fallen.  Another  missile,  from  the  outside, 
striking  his  watch,  threw  him  back  into  the  room,  and 
this  was  all  that  prevented  him  from  descending  upon  the 
bayonets  of  the  mob.  In  his  wounded  state  he  dragged 
himself  under  a  bedstead  that  stood  near,  and  while  doing 
so  received  three  other  wounds,  one  a  little  below  the  left 
knee,  one  In  his  left  hip,  and  another  in  the  left  fore-arm 
and  hand.  The,  Prophet's  fall  from  the  window  drew  the 
murderers  to  the  yard  below,  which  incident  saved  the  lives 
of  John  Taylor  and  Willard  Richards,  the  latter  the  only  one 
of  the  four  prisoners  who  escaped  unharmed.  As  soon  as 
practicable  Apostle  Taylor,  who  had  been  carried  by  Doctor 
Richards  for  safety  into  the  cell  of  the  prison,  was  removed 
to  Hamilton's  hotel  in  Carthage,  and  subsequently  to 
Nauvoo. 

He  accompanied  the  exodus,  February  16,  1846,  to  Council 
Bluffs,  from  where  he  was  sent  with  Parley  P.  Pratt  and 
Orson  Hyde  to  set  In  order  the  affairs  of  the  British 
mission.  After  accomplishing  their  purpose  they  returned, 
arriving  in  1847.  Apostle  Taylor  brought  with  him  a  set 
of  surveying-  instruments,  with  which  Orson  Pratt,  a  few 
months  later,  laid  out  Salt  Lake  City. 

After  the  departure  of  President  Young  and  the  pioneers, 
In  April,  Parley  P.  Pratt  and  John  Taylor  exercised  a  general 
superintendency  over  the  affairs  at  Winter  Quarters,  and 
with  Isaac  Morley  and  Newel  K.  Whitney  organized  the 
immigration  that  crossed  the  plains  that  season.  It  was 
about  the  21st  of  June  when  these  apostles,  with  six  hun- 
dred wagons  and  upwards  of  fifteen  hundred  souls,  began 
the  journey  from  the  Elk  Horn.  John  Taylor's  division 
arrived  at  Salt  Lake  City  Oct.  5,  1847. 

In  1849  he  was  called  to  head  a  mission  to  France,  and 
In  company  with  Lorenzo  Snow,  Erastus  Snow  and  Franklin 
D.  Richards,  who  were  on  their  way  to  Italy,  Denmark  and 
England,  respectively,  he  set  out  on  the  19th  of  October 
to  re-cross  the  plains.  After  a  very  successful  mission, 
where  he  organized  a  branch  and  made  arrangements  for 
translating  the  Book  of  Mormon  into  the  Gallic  tongue,  he 
returned!  arriving  at  Salt  Lake  City  Aug.  20,  1852.  He 
brought  with  him  the  machinery  for  the  beet  sugar  plant, 
manufactured  In  Liverpool  at  a  cost  of  twelve  thousand 
five  hundred  dollars;  also  the  busts  of  Joseph  and  Hyrum 
Smith,  prepared  under  his  personal  direction  by  one  of 
the  first  artists  of  England.  Two  years  later  he  was  called 
to  preside  over  the  Eastern  States  mission  and  to  super- 
vise the  emigration.  Resigning  as  a  member-elect  of  the 
legislature,  he,  accompanied  by  his  son,  George  J.  Taylor, 
and  by  Elders  Jeter  Clinton,  Nathaniel  H.  Felt,  Alexander 
Robbins  and  Angus  M.  Cannon,  set  out  in  the  fall  of  1854  for 
New  York  City,  where  the  first  number  of  "The  Mormon" 
was  issued  Feb.  17,  1855.  In  1857,  at  the  outbreak  of  the 
"Utah  War,"  John  Taylor  returned  to  Salt  Lake  City. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  Utah  legislature  1857-76,  and  for 
the  first  five  sessions  of  that  period,  speaker  of  the  house. 
From  1868  to  1870  he  was  probate  judge  of  Utah  county. 
In  1869  he  held  his  celebrated  controversy  with  Vice-Presi- 
dent  Colfax  through  the  columns  of  the  New  York  press, 
and  from  1871  to  1875  he  published  a  series  of  letters  in 
the  "Deseret  News,"  reviewing  the  situation  in  Utah,  de- 
nouncing territorial  government  as  un-American  and  oppres- 
sive, but  warning  the  people  against  violent  resistance  to 
Judge  McKean's  high-handed  and  exasperating  course.  In 
1877  he  was  elected  territorial  superintendent  of  schools, 
and  served  as  such  for  several  years. 

The  next  important  event  in  his  history  was  his  elevation 
to  the  leadership  of  the  Church,  to  which  he  virtually  suc- 
ceeded at  the  death  of  President  Young,  August  29,  1877. 
He  had  been  for  some  years  President  of  the  Twelve  Apos- 
tles. He  continued  to  act  in  that  capacity  until  October, 
1880,  when  the  First  Presidency  was  again  organized,  with 
John  Taylor,  George  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F.  Smith  as 
its  personnel. 

President  Taylor's  last  appearance  in  public  was  on  Sun- 
day, Feb.  1,  1885,  when  lie  preached  his  final  discourse  in 
the  tabernacle  at  Salt  Lake  City.  He  had  just  returned 
from  Mexico  and  California,  after  a  tour  through  the  settle- 
ments of  the  Saints  in  Arizona.  That  night  he  went  into 
retirement  and  was  never  again  seen  in  life  except  by  a 
few  trusted  friends.  He  died  July  25,  1887,  at  the  home  of 
Thomas  F.  Rouche,  In  Kaysvllle,  Davis  Co.,  Utah.  His 
funeral  was  held  four  days  later,  at  the  tabernacle  In  Salt 
Lake  City.

Associate  editor  of  the  'Millennial  Star'  at  Liverpool,  Eng. 
City"  treasurer  1883-1890.  Chancellor  of  the  University  of 
D&seret,  succeeding  Hon.  George  Q.  Cannon.  Chief  clerk 
or  the  House  of  Representatives  1888.  First  elder  to  hold 
Sabbath  services  at  the  Penitentiary.  The  town  of  Whit- 
ney, Idaho,  was  named  for  him.  One  of  the  three  framers 
of  the  'Declaration  of  Grievances  and  Protest,'  and  the 
reader  of  that  document  at  the  great  Tabernacle  mass  meet- 
ing May,  1885,  and  a  year  later  he  delivered  the  address  of 
welcome  to  Governor  Caleb  W.  West,  on  his  arrival  at  Salt 
Lake  City.  At  the  General  Conference  In  October,  1890, 
he  was  called  to  read  President  Woodruff's  'Manifesto' 
to  the  Congregation.  In  May,  1890,  Bishop  Whitney  began 
the  History  of  Utah.  He  was  the  choice  for  this  work,  of 
the  most  prominent  men  and  women  in  the  community  and 
was  employed  by  the  publishing  company  organized  by  Dr. 
John  O.  Williams,  an  experienced  book  man  from  the  east, 
who  was  the  main  owner  of  the  enterprise.  The  Bishop's 
duties  were  purely  literary;  at  no  time  did  he  have  anything 
to  do  with  the  business  management.  Served  the  public 
gratuitously  in  various  ways.  At  a  Unitarian  conference 
held  in  the  Jewish  Synagogue  at  Salt  Lake  City  in  1892. 
at  which  ministers  of  various  denominations  were  invited 
to  speak,  he  represented  his  church,  by  appointment  of  the 
First  Presidency.  His  address  was  pronounced  by  the 
Rabbi  the  most  impressive  one  delivered  on  the  occasion. 
He  was  prominent  at  peace  and  charity  meetings  and  other 
gatherings  of  a  public  character.  In  the  fall  of  1894,  Mr. 
Whitney  engaged  in  his  first  political  campaign.  Up  to 
this  time  he  had  never  ma/.e  a  political  speech,  nor  had  he 
united  with  either  of  th'j  new  organizations  which  had 
superseded  the  People's  and  the  Liberal  parties.  His  pre- 
dilections were  for  Democracy.  Never  an  office-seeker,  and 
shunning  rather  than  courting  public  life,  at  the  solicita- 
tion of  Democratic  leaders,  he  became  a  candidate  for  the 
Constitutional  Convention,  and  was  elected  by  the  largest 
majority  cast  in  his  precinct.  The  part  played  by  him  in 
the  convention — notably  in  the  great  woman's  suffrage 
debate — is  well  known.  He  served  upon  various  important 
committees,  and  was  one  of  the  special  committee  that 
revised  the  constitution  prior  to  its  transmission  to  Wash- 
ington. In  January,  1896,  accepted  a  professor's  chair  in 
the  Brigham  Young  College  at  Logan,  and  for  the  next 
eighteen  months  was  a  resident  of  that  town,  and  an  in-

PIONEERS  AND  PROMINENT  MEN  OF  UTAH 


structor  in  Theology  and  English.  In  the  Pioneer  Jubilee, 
Bishop  Whitney  played  a  prominent  part,  beginning  with 
the  reading  for  President  Woodruff,  who  was  too  feeble  to 
speak,  of  the  dedicatory  prayer  at  the  unveiling  of  the 
pioneer  monument.  He  compiled  for  the  Jubilee  Commis- 
sion the  'Book  of  the  Pioneers'  for  the  state  archives,  and 
contributed  to  the  literature  of  the  period  a  poem,  'The  Lily 
and  the  Bee,'  an  allegory  of  the  founding  of  Utah.  His 
'Ode  to  the  Pioneers,'  adapted  from  one  of  his  earlier  poems, 
and  set  to  music  by  Professor  Evan  Stephens,  was  sung 
with  thrilling  effect  by  the  Tabernacle  choir  during  the 
five  days'  celebration.  Since  the  opening  of  1899,  Bishop 
Whitney  has  been  connected  with  the  Church  Historian's 
Office.  For  several  years  he  has  presided  over  the  State 
Historical  Society.  In  literature  he  shines  conspicuously, 
but  all  his  previous  efforts  are  eclipsed  by  his  latest  pro- 
duction, 'Elias,  an  Epic  of  the  Ages.'  It  is  lofty,  massive, 
grand,  exhibiting  fertility  of  thought,  expansive  research 
and  wonderful  constructive  ability.  The  great  theme  that 
it  embodies — Eternal  Truth — has  probably  never  before  been 
treated  so  comprehensively  in  a  poetic  way.  Along  with 
his  devotion  to  literature,  he  retains  his  early  affection  for 
music  and  the  drama,  and  makes  it  a  point  to  see  and

Whltney'8   History    says    of    Brigham    Toung: 

It  was  at  Aurelius,  Cayuga  county,  N.  T.,  in  1824  that 
he  first  saw  the  Book  of  Mormon,  a  copy  of  which  had  been 
left  at  the  house  of  his  brother  Phineas,  In  the  neighbor- 
Ing  town  of  Victor,  by  Samuel  H.  Smith,  a  brother  to 
Joseph  Smith,  the  Prophet.  Deeply  Impressed  with  the  prin- 
ciples of  Mormonlsm,  he.  In  company  with  Phineas  and  his 
friend  Heber  C.  Kimball,  visited  a  branch  of  the  church 
at  Columbia,  Bradford  county,  Penn.,  from  which  state 
had -previously  come  several  Mormon  elders,  preaching  the 
doctrines  of  their  faith  in  and  around  Mendon.  Subse- 
quently proceeding  to  Canada,  where  his  brother  Joseph  was 
laboring  In  the  Methodist  ministry,  Brigham  presented  to 
him  the  claims  of  Mormonlsm.  He  then  returned  with  him 
to  Mendon,  where  they  both  Joined  the  Church  of  Jesus 
Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints. 

He  was  baptized  on  the  14th  of  April,  1832,  by  Elder 
Eleazer  Miller,  who  confirmed  him  at  the  waters  edge  and 
ordained  him  an  elder  the  same  evening.  About  three  weeks 
later  his  wife  Miriam  was  baptized. 

His  first  meeting  with  the  founder  of  Mormonlsm  was  In 
the  fall  of  the  same  year,  when  he  visited  Klrtland,  Ohio,

the  headquarters  of  the  Latter-day  Saints.  Joseph  Smith, 
it  is  said,  prophesied  on  that  occasion  that  Brigham  Young 
would  yet  preside  over  the  church.  A  year  later  he  removed 
to  Kirtland. 

He  was  chosen  one  of  the  Twelve  Apostles — the  council 
or  quorum  second  in  authority  in  the  Mormon  church — 
Feb.  14,  1835,  and  forthwith  he  entered  upon  his  eventful 
and  wonderfully  successful  career.  With  his  quorum  he 
traversed  the  eastern  states  and  Canada,  making  proselytes 
to  the  faith  and  gathering  funds  for  the  completion  of  the 
Kirtland  Temple  and  the  purchase  of  lands  in  Missouri, 
where  Mormon  colonies  from  Ohio  and  the  East  were  set- 
tling. When  disaffection  arose  and  persecution  threatened 
the  existence  of  the  church  and  the  lives  of  its  leaders, 
he  stood  staunchly  by  the  Prophet,  defending  him  at  his 
own  imminent  peril.  Finally  the  opposition  became  so 
fierce,  that  he  as  well  as  the  Prophet  was  compelled  to 
flee  from  Kirtland. 

He  next  appears  at  Far  West,  Mo.,  the  new  gathering 
place  of  the  Saints,  where  after  the  apostasy  of  Thomas  B. 
Marsh  and  the  death  of  David  W.  Patten  (his  seniors  among 
the  Apostles),  he  succeeded  to  the  presidency  of  the  Twelve. 
This  was  in  the  very  midst  of  the  mob  troubles  that  cul- 
minated in  the  expulsion  of  the  Mormon  community  from 
that  State.  In  the  absence  of  the  first  presidency,  composed 
of  the  Prophet,  his  brother  Hyrum  Smith,  and  Sidney  Rig- 
don,  •who  had  been  thrown  into  prison.  President  Young, 
though  not  then  in  Missouri,  directed  the  winter  exodus 
of  his  people,  and  the  homeless  and  plundered  refugees — 
twelve  to  fifteen  thousand  in  number — fleeing  through  frost 
and  snow  by  the  light  of  their  burning  dwellings,  were 
safely  landed  upon  the  hospitable  shores  of  Illinois. 

His  next  notable  achievement  was  in  connection  with 
the  spread  of  Mormonism  in  foreign  lands.  As  early  as 
July,  1838,  he  and  his  fellow  Apostles  had  been  directed  by 
the  Prophet  to  take  a  mission  to  Europe,  and  "the  word  of 
the  Lord"  was  pledged  that  they  should  depart  on  a  certain 
day  from  the  Temple  lot  in  Far  West.  This  was  before  the 
mob  troubles  arose,  before  the  Mormons  had  been  driven, 
and  before  there  was  any  prospect  that  they  would  be. 
But  all  was  now  changed,  the  expulsion  was  an  accom- 
plished fact,  and  it  was  almost  as  much  as  a  Mormon's  life 
was  worth  to  be  seen  in  Missouri.  The  day  set  for  the 
departure  of  the  Apostles  from  Far  West  (April  26,  1839) 
was  approaching,  but  they  were  far  away,  and  apostates  and 
mobocrats  were  boasting  that  the  revelation  pertaining 
to  that  departure  would  fail.  Before  daybreak,  however, 
on  the  morning  of  the  day  appointed,  Brigham  Young  and 
others  of  the  Twelve  rode  into  the  town,  held  a  meeting 
on  the  Temple  lot.  and  started  thence  upon  their  mission, 
their  enemies  meanwhile  wrapped  in  slumber,  oblivious  of 
what  was  taking  place.  Delayed  by  the  founding  of  their 
new  city,  Nauvoo,  in  Hancock  county,  111.,  and  by  an 
epidemic  of  fever  and  ague  that  swept  over  that  newly 
settled  section,  they  did  not  cross  the  Atlantic  until  about 
a  year  later,  and  even  then  this  indomitable  man  and  his 
no  less  indomitable  associates  arose  from  sick  beds,  leaving 
their  families  ailing  and  almost  destitute,  to  begin  their 
journey. 

Landing  at  Liverpool  penniless  and  among  strangers, 
April  6,  1840 — Mormonism's  tenth  anniversary — they  re- 
mained in  Great  Britain  a  little  over  a  year,  during  which 
time  they  baptized  between  seven  and  eight  thousand  souls 
and  raised  up  branches  of  the  church  in  almost  every 
noted  city  and  town  throughout  the  United  Kingdom.  They 
established  the  periodical  known  as  "The  Millennial  Star," 
published  five  thousand  copies  of  the  Book  of  Mormon,  three 
thousand  hymn  books  and  fifty  thousand  tracts,  emigrated 
a  thousand  souls  to  Nauvoo,  and  founded  a  permanent 
shipping  agency  for  the  use  of  future  emigration.  The 
British  Mission  had  previously  been  opened,  but  its  founda- 
tions were  now  laid  broad  and  deep.  The  first  foreign  mis- 
sion of  the  Mormon  church,  it  still  remains  the  most  Im- 
portant proselyting  field  for  the  energetic  elders  of  this 
organization. 

Brigham  Young,  soon  after  his  return  from  abroad,  was 
taught  by  the  Prophet  the  principle  of  celestial  or  plural 
marriage,  which  he  practiced  as  did  others  while  at  Nauvoo. 
He  married  among  other  women,  several  of  the  Prophet's 
•widows.  It  was  not  until  after  the  settlement  of  Utah, 
however,  that  "polygamy"  was  proclaimed. 

Brigham  Young  was  in  the  eastern  states,  when  Joseph 
and  Hyrum  Smith  were  murdered  in  Carthage  jail,  June  27, 
1844.  The  business  which  had  taken  him  and  most  of  the 
Apostles  from  home  was  an  electioneering  mission  in  the 
Interests  of  the  Prophet,  who  was  a  candidate  for  the 
presidency  of  the  United  States.  As  soon  as  they  heard  the 
awful  tidings  of  the  assassination,  they  hurried  back  to 
Nauvoo. 

Their  return  was  timely.  The  Saints,  grief-stricken  at 
the  loss  of  their  leaders,  needed  the  presence  of  the  Apostles, 
but  not  merely  as  a  means  of  consolation.  Factions  were 
forming  and  a  schism  threatened  the  church.  Sidney  Rig- 
don,  who  had  been  the  Prophet's  first  counselor  in  the  first 
presidency,  was  urging  with  all  his  eloquence — for  he  was 
an  eloquent  and  a  learned  man — his  claim  to  the  leader- 
ship, contending  that  he  was  Joseph's  rightful  successor: 
notwithstanding  that  for  some  time  he  had  absented  him- 
self from  Nauvoo  and  the  society  of  the  Saints,  manifest- 
ing a  disposition  to  shirk  the  trials  patiently  borne  by  his 
much  suffering  associates.  Brigham  Young,  with  little 
learning  and  less  eloquence,  but  speaking  straight  to  the 
point,  maintained  the  right  of  the  Twelve  Apostles  to  lead 
the  church  in  the  absence  of  the  first  presidency,  basing 
his  claim  upon  the  teachings  of  the  martyred  Seer,  who 
had  declared:  "Where  I  am  not,  there  is  no  first  presidency 
over  the  Twelve."  He  had  also  repeatedly  affirmed  that  he 


had    rolled    the   burden    of   the    "Kingdom"    from   his   own 
shoulders    upon    those    of   the    Twelve. 

The  great  majority  of  the  people  sustained  President 
Young,  and  followed  him  in  the  exodus  from  Illinois,  leav- 
ing Elder  Rigdon  and  other  claimants  at  the  head  of  various 
small  factions  which  have  made  no  special  mark  in  history. 
Brigham,  by  virtue  of  his  position  in  the  quorum  of  the 
Twelve,  was  now  virtually  president  of  the  church,  though 
he  did  not  take  that  title  until  nearly  two  years  later, 
when  the  first  presidency  was  again  organized.  The  exodua 
began  In  February,  1846. 

Expelled  from  Nauvoo  across  the  frozen  Mississippi, 
armed  mobs  behind  them,  and  a  savage  wilderness  before, 
the  homeless  pilgrims,  with  their  oxteams  and  heavily 
loaded  wagons,  halted  in  their  westward  flight  upon  the 
Missouri  river,  where,  in  the  summer  of  the  same  year 
they  filled  a  government  requisition  for  five  hundred  men 
to  serve  In  the  United  States  in  its  war  against  Mexico. 
Thus  originates  the  famous  Mormon  Battalion,  whose  story 
Is  told  in  another  place. 

President  Young  and  his  associates,  after  raising  the 
Battalion  and  witnessing  its  departure  for  the  West,  set 
about  preparing  for  the  journey  of  the  pioneers  to  the 
Rocky  Mountains.  This  company,  including  himself,  num- 
bered one  hundred  and  forty-three  men,  three  women  and 
two  children,  meagerly  supplied  with  wagons,  provisions, 
firearms,  plows,  seed-grain  and  the  usual  camp  equipment. 
Leaving  the  main  body  of  their  people  upon  the  Missouri, 
with  instructions  to  follow  later,  the  pioneers  started  from 
Winter  Quarters  (now  Florence,  Neb.),  early  in  April. 
1847.  Traversing  the  trackless  plains  and  snow-capped 
mountains,  they  penetrated  to  the  very  heart  of  the  "Great 
American  Desert,"  where  they  founded  Salt  Lake  City,  the 
parent  of  hundreds  of  cities,  towns  and  villages  that  have 
since  sprung  into  existence  as  Brigham  Young's  and  Mor- 
monism's gift  to  civilization.  The  date  of  their  arrival 
In  Salt  Lake  Valley  was  July  24,  a  day  thenceforth  "set 
among  the  high  tides  of  the  calendar." 

Flinging  to  the  breeze  the  stars  and  stripes,  these  Mormon 
colonizers  took  possession  of  the  country,  which  then  be- 
longed to  Mexico,  as  in  the  name  of  the  United  States,  and 
after  the  treaty  of  Guadalupe  Hidalgo,  by  which,  in  Feb- 
ruary, 1848,  the  land  was  ceded  to  this  nation,  they  or- 
ganized, pending  the  action  of  Congress  upon  their  petition 
for  a  State  government,  the  Provisional  State  of  Deseret,  of 
which  Brigham  Young  was  elected  governor.  March  11, 
1849.  They  thoroughly  explored  the  surrounding  region, 
placated  or  subdued  the  savage  tribes  (President  Young's 
policy  was  to  feed  the  Indians  rather  than  fight  them), 
battled  with  crickets,  grasshoppers  and  drouth,  instituted 
irrigation,  redeemed  arid  lands,  built  cities,  established 
newspapers,  founded  schools  and  factories,  and  made  the 
whole  land  hum  with  the  whirring  wheels  of  industry. 
They  were  emphatically  what  they  styled  themselves,  "the 
busy  bees  of  the  hive  of  Deseret." 

There  was  but  one  branch  of  Industry  that  they  did  not 
encourage.  It  was  mining.  In  the  midst  of  one  of  the 
richest  metal-bearing  regions  in  the  world,  their  leader 
discountenanced  mining,  advising  his  people  to  devote  them- 
selves primarily  to  agriculture.  "We  cannot  eat  gold  and 
stiver,"  said  Brigham  Young.  "We  need  bread  and  clothing 
first.  Neither  do  we  want  to  bring  in  here  a  roving,  reck- 
less frontier  population  to  drive  us  again  from  our  hard- 
earned  homes.  Let  mining  go  for  the  present,  until  we  are 
strong  enough  to  take  care  of  ourselves,  and  meantime  let 
us  devote  our  energies  to  farming,  stock-raising,  manufac- 
turing, etc.,  those  health-giving  pursuits  that  He  at  the 
basis  of  every  State's  prosperity."  Such,  if  not  his  precise 
language,  was  the  substance  of  his  teachings  upon  this 
point.  It  was  the  premature  opening  of  the  mines,  not 
mining  itself,  that  he  opposed. 

Congress  denied  Deseret's  prayer  for  Statehood,  but  on  the 
9th  of  September,  1850,  organized  the  Territory  of  Utah,  of 
which  Brigham  Young  became  governor,  by  appointment  of 
President  Millard  Flllmore,  after  whom  the  grateful  Mor- 
mons named  the  county  of  Millard  and  the  city  of  Fill- 
more,  originally  the  capital  of  the  Territory.  Governor 
Young  served  two  terms,  and  was  succeeded  in  1858  by 
Governor  Alfred  Cummlng,  a  native  of  Georgia,  Utah's  first 
non-Mormon  executive. 

Just  prior  to  Governor  Cumming's  installation  occurred 
the  exciting  but  bloodless  conflict  known  as  "The  Echo 
Canyon  War,"  but  officially  styled  "The  Utah  Expedition." 
It  was  the  heroic  crisis  of  Brigham  Young's  life,  when,  o>n 
the  15th  of  September,  1857,  he,  as  governor  of  Utah,  pro- 
claimed the  Territory  under  martial  law,  and  forbade  the 
United  States  army  then  on  our  borders  (ordered  here  by 
President  Buchanan  to  suppress  an  imaginary  Mormon  up- 
rising) to  cross  the  confines  of  the  commonwealth.  Hla 
purpose  was  not  to  defy  the  national  authorities,  but  to 
hold  in  check  Johnston's  troops  (thus  preventing  a  possible 
repetition  of  the  anti-Mormon  atrocities  of  Missouri  and 
Illinois)  until  the  government — which  had  been  misled  by 
false  reports — could  investigate  the  situation  and  become 
convinced  of  its  error.  Governor  Young,  backed  by  the 
Utah  militia,  fully  accomplished  his  design  and  the  affair 
was  amicably  settled. 

Though  no  longer  governor  of  Utah,  Brigham  Young  re- 
mained president  of  the  Mormon  church,  and  as  such  WB.B 
the  real  power  In  the  land.  Under  his  wise  and  vigoroua 
administration  the  country  was  built  up  rapidly.  The 
settlements  founded  by  him  and  his  people  on  the  shores  of 
the  Great  Salt  Lake  formed  a  nucleus  for  western  civiliza- 
tion, greatly  facilitating  the  colonization  of  the  vast  arid 
plateau  known  as  the  Great  Basin.  Idaho,  Montana,  the 
Dakotas,  Colorado,  Wyoming,  Nevada  (once  a  part  of 


PIONEERS  AND  PROMINENT  MEN  OF  UTAH 


1269 


Utah),    Arizona    and    New    Mexico,    owe    much    in    this   con- 
nection  to   Utah   and   her  founders. 

It  was  presumed  by  many  that  the  opening  of  the  great 
conflict  between  the  northern  and  the  southern  states,  would 
find  Brigham  Young  and  his  people  arrayed  on  the  side  of 
secession  and  in  arms  against  the  Federal  government. 
What  was  the  surprise,  therefore,  when,  on  the  18th  of 
October,  1861,  at  the  very  threshold  of  the  strife,  with  the 
tide  of  victory  running  in  favor  of  the  Confederacy,  there 
flashed  eastward  over  the  wires  of  the  Overland  Telegraph 
line,  just  completed  to  Salt  Lake  City,  the  following  mes- 
sage signed  by  Brigham  Young:  "Utah  has  not  seceded, 
but  is  firm  for  the  constitution  and  laws  of  our  once  happy 
country."  At  this  time  also  the  Mormon  leader  offered  to 
the  head  of  the  nation  the  services  of  a  picked  body  of 
men  to  protect  the  mail  route  on  the  plains,  an  offer 
graciously  accepted  by  President  Lincoln.  Early  in  1862, 
Utah  applied  for  admission  into  the  Union. 

The  prevailing  prejudice,  however,  was  too  dense  to  be 
at  once  dispelled.  Hence,  notwithstanding  these  evidences 
of  loyalty,  springing  not  from  policy  but  from  true  patriot- 
ism, a  body  of  Government  troops — the  California  and 
Nevada  Volunteers,  commander  by  Colonel  Patrick  E. 
Connor — were  ordered  to  Utah  and  assigned  the  task  of 
"watching  Brigham  Young  and  the  Mormons,"  during  this 
period  of  national  peril.  The  insult  implied  by  the  pres- 
ence of  the  troops — who  founded  Fort  Douglas  on  the  bench 
east  of  Salt  Lake  City — was  keenly  felt,  and  considerable 
friction  arose,  though  no  actual  collision  occurred  between 
the  soldiers  and  the  civilians  in  general.  Gradually  the 
acerbities  wore  away  and  friendly  feelings  took  their  place. 
In  after  years,  when  President  Young  was  summoned  to 
be  tried  before  Chief  Justice  McKean,  who  should  offer  to 
become  one  of  his  bondsmen  but  General  Patrick  Edward 
Connor,  ex-commander  at  the  Fort,  who  was  then  engaged 
extensively  in  mining,  of  which  industry  he  was  Utah's 
pioneer. 

It  was  twenty-two  years  after  the  settlement  of  Salt  Lake 
Valley  when  the  shriek  of  the  locomotive  broke  the  still- 
ness of  the  mountain  solitudes,  and  the  peaceful  settlements 
of  the  Saints  were  thrown  open  to  the  encroachment  of 
modern  civilization.  A  new  era  then  dawned  upon  Deseret. 
Her  days  of  isolation  were  ended.  Population  increased, 
commerce  expanded  and  a  thousand  and  one  improvements 
were  planned  and  explained.  Telegraphs  and  railroads 
threw  a  net-work  of  steel  and  electricity  over  a  region 
formerly  traversed  by  the  slow-going  oxteam  and  lumber- 
ing stage  coach.  The  mines,  previously  opened,  were 
developed,  property  of  all  kinds  increased  in  value,  and  in- 
dustry on  every  hand  felt  the  thrill  of  an  electric  reawaken- 
ing. Tourists  from  East  and  West  began  flocking  to  the 
Mormon  country,  to  see  for  themselves  the  "peculiar  peo- 
ple" and  their  institutions,  trusting  no  more  to  the  wild 
tales  told  by  sensational  traducers. 

In  the  midst  of  it  all,  Brigham  Young  remained  the 
master  mind  and  leading  spirit  of  the  time.  He  had  pre- 
dicted the  transcontinental  railroad  and  marked  out  its 
path  while  crossing  the  plains  and  mountains  in  1847,  and 
now,  when  it  was  extending  across  Utah,  he  became  a  con- 
tractor, helping  to  build  the  Union  Pacific  grade  through 
Echo  and  Weber  canyons.  Two  and  a  half  years  earlier 
he  had  established  the  Deseret  Telegraph  line,  a  local  enter- 
prise constructed  entirely  by  Mormon  capital  and  labor 
under  his  direction.  In  the  early  "seventies"  he  with  others 
built  the  Utah  Central  and  Utah  Southern  railroads,  the 
pioneer  lines  of  the  Territory,  and  of  the  first-named  road 
he  was  for  many  years  the  president. 

But  while  in  sympathy  with  such  enterprises  and  anxious 
to  forward  them,  he  was  not  to  be  caught  napping  by  the 
changes  that  he  knew  would  follow.  Just  before  the  com- 
ing of  the  railroad  he  organized  Zion's  Co-operative  Mer- 
cantile Institution,  a  mammoth  concern  designed  to  con- 
solidate the  commercial  interests  of  his  people.  In  this 
and  in  other  ways  he  sucessfully  met  the  vigorous  and  in 
many  respects  unfriendly  competition  that  surged  in  from 
outside. 

With  the  Increase  of  the  Gentile  population  came  the  for- 
mation of  rival  political  parties,  the  first  that  Utah  had 
known.  Non-Mormon  churches  and  newspapers  also  mul- 
tiplied, religious  and  political  agitators  made  the  air  sul- 
phurous with  their  imprecations  against  "the  dominant 
power,"  and  Congress  at  regular  intervals  was  asked  to 
exterminate  the  remaining  "twin  relic  of  barbarism."  Still, 
Mormonism,  personified  in  Brigham  Young,  continued  to 
hold  its  own. 

Under  the  anti-polygamy  statute  enacted  by  Congress 
in  July,  1862,  but  one  attempt  was  made  to  prosecute  the 
Mormon  leader.  This  was  in  March,  1863,  when  a  plot  was 
said  to  be  forming  to  arrest  him  by  military  force  and 
run  him  off  to  the  States  for  trial.  He  forestalled  the  suc- 
cess of  the  scheme — if  such  a  scheme  existed— by  surrender- 
Ing  to  the  United  States  Marshal  and  going  before  Chief 
Justice  Kiriney  In  chambers,  where  he  was  examined  and 
held  to  bail,  but  subsequently  discharged,  there  not  being 
sufficient  evidence  to  justify  an  indictment.  The  charge 
in  this  case  was  that  of  marrying  a  plural  wife,  the  only 
act  made  punishable  by  the  law  of  1862,  which  was  silent 
as  to  the  maintenance  of  polygamous  relations.  Thence- 
forth that  law  remained  a  dead  letter,  no  attempt  being 
made  to  enforce  It,  the  Mormons  regarding  it  as  uncon- 
stitutional, as  it  trenched  upon  a  principle  of  their  religion, 
and  many  non-Mormons,  including  noted  editors,  jurists 
and  statesmen,  sharing  the  same  view.  In  1874  a  test-case 
was  instituted,  under  President  Young's  sanction,  to  secure 
a  decision  from  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States, 
but  that  decision,  sustaining  the  law's  constitutionality, 
was  not  rendered  until  eighteen  months  after  his  death. 


But  while  measurably  safe  from  prosecution  under  the 
anti-polygamy  act,  the  Mormon  leader  and  his  compeers 
were  not  free  from  judicial  harassments.  In  the  fall  of 
1871  President  Young  and  others  were  prosecuted  before 
Chief  Justice  McKean  under  a  local  law  enacted  by  the 
Mormons  themselves  against  the  social  evil,  adultery  and 
other  sexual  sins,  and  never  intended  to  apply  to  polygamy 
or  association  with  plural  wives,  which  was  the  head  and 
front  of  their  offending.  These  prosecutions,  with  others, 
were  stopped  by  the  Englebrecht  decision  of  April,  1872, 
in  which  the  court  of  last  resort  held  that  the  grand 
jury  which  had  found  the  indictments  was  illegal. 

A  few  years  later  Judge  McKean  had  the  Mormon  leader 
again  in  the  tolls.  Under  his  fostering  care  had  arisen  the 
case  of  Ann  Eliza  Young  vs.  Brigham  Young,  in  which  the 
plaintiff,  one  of  the  defendant's  plural  wives,  sued  him  for 
divorce  and  alimony.  The  judge  in  his  zeal  went  so  far  as 
to  give  Ann  Eliza  the  status  of  a  legal  wife,  deciding  against 
all  law  and  logic  that  the  defendant  should  pay  her  ali- 
mony pendente  lite,  to  the  amount  of  nearly  ten  thousand 
dollars.  Failing  to  promptly  comply  with  this  demand — 
which  set  the  whole  country  In  a  roar — the  venerable 
founder  of  Utah  was  Imprisoned  by  order  of  court  in  the 
Utah  penitentiary.  Sentence  was  passed  upon  him  March 
11,  1875 — the  term  of  imprisonment  being  twenty-four 
hours — and  just  one  week  later  the  storm  of  censure  re- 
sulting from  this  act  culminated  in  McKean's  removal  from 
office. 

In  the  autumn  of  the  same  year  President  Grant  visited 
Utah,  the  first  executive  of  the  nation  to  set  foot  within 
the  Territory.  The  most  interesting  incident  of  his  visit 
was  a  cordial  interview  between  him  and  President  Young, 
who  with  a  party  welcomed  the  chief  magistrate  at  Ogden 
and  rode  in  the  same  train  with  him  and  his  suite  to  Salt 
Lake  City.  This  was  the  first  and  only  time  that  Brigham 
Young  met  a  president  of  the  United  States. 

The  closing  labors  of  President  Young's  life,  following  a 
vigorous  and  partly  successful  effort  to  re-establish  the 
"United  Order"  (a  communal  system  introduced  by  the 
Prophet  Joseph  Smith),  comprised  the  dedication  in  Jan- 
uary and  April,  1877,  of  the  St.  George  Temple — the  first 
Temple  erected  by  the  Saints  since  leaving  Nauvoo;  also  a 
reorganization  of  the  Stakes  of  Zion,  beginning  with  St. 
George  Stake  on  April  7th,  and  ending  with  Box  Elder 
Stake  on  August  19th  of  that  year.  To  effect  the  latter 
organization,  he  made  his  final  trip  beyond  the  limits  of 
Salt  Lake  City. 

President  Young  died  at  his  residence,  the  historic  Lion 
House,  August  29,  1877.  He  left  an  estate  valued  at  two 
and  a  half  million  dollars,  most  of  which  was  divided 
among  the  members  of  his  family.  These  were  numerous, 
but  their  number,  for  sensational  effect,  has  been  grossly 
exaggerated.  His  children  at  his  death  numbered  about 
forty.  Six  of  his  widows  survive.  The  majority  of  his 
families  dwelt  in  the  Lion  and  Bee-hive  houses,  where  each 
wife  with  her  children  had  separate  apartments,  and  where, 
contrary  to  facetious  reports,  all  dwelt  together  in  amity. 
The  Gardo  House,  a  handsome  and  stately  modern  man- 
sion, surnamed  by  non-Mormons  the  "Amelia  Palace,"  and 
pointed  out  to  tourists  as  the  "home  of  the  favorite  wife" 
was  in  reality  the  president's  official  residence,  erected 
mainly  for  the  entertainment  of  distinguished  visitors. 

The  best  known  of  President  Young's  sons  are  Brigham 
Young,  president  of  the  Twelve  Apostles;  Hon.  Joseph  A. 
Young,  deceased;  John  W.  Young,  once  a  member  of  the 
first  presidency,  now  a  noted  business  man,  and  Colonel 
Willard  Young,  of  the  United  States  Army,  who  commanded 
a  regiment  of  volunteer  engineers  during  the  war  with 
Spain.  Among  the  president's  grandsons  are  Laurence  H. 
Young,  well  known  as  a  business  man.  Major  Richard 
W.  Young  (like  his  Uncle  Willard  a  graduate  of  West 
Point)  who  recently  won  laurels  in  the  Philippines.  He 
commanded  the  Utah  Light  artillery  at  the  capture  of 
Manila,  and  was  subsequently  one  of  the  judges  of  the 
supreme  court  at  that  place.  Another  grandson,  Brigham 
S.  Young,  is  a  member  of  the  Salt  Lake  Board  of  Education; 
another  is  John  Willard  Clawson,  the  painter;  and  still 
another,  George  W.  Thatcher,  Jr.,  musician.  Elder  Sey- 
mour B.  Young,  of  the  First  Council  of  Seventy;  Judge 
LeGrange  Young;  Brigham  Blcknell  Young,  vocalist;  Dr.

Brigham  Young,  like  Joseph  Smith,  was  a  warm  friend  of 
education.  Among  the  monuments  left  to  perpetuate  his 
memory  are  two  noble  institutions  of  learning,  namely  the 
Brigham  Young  academy  and  the  Brigham  Young  college, 
the  former  at  Provo,  50  miles  south,  and  the  latter  at  Logan, 
100  miles  north  of  Utah's  capital.  He  also  projected  the 
Young  university  at  Salt  Lake  City,  but  died  before  per- 
fecting his  plans  concerning  it.  Believing  that  man,  in 
order  to  be  fully  educated,  must  be  developed  mentally, 
physically,  morally  and  spiritually,  he  provided  that  reli- 
gion and  manual  training  should  be  included  in  the  cur- 
riculum of  the  institutions  he  founded.  In  the  trust  deed  en-

PIONEERS  AND  PROMINENT  MEN  OF  UTAH 


dowing  the  Brigham  Young  college  with  10,000  acres  of 
land  (worth  now  about  $200,000)  it  was  prescribed  that  no 
text  book  should  be  used  which  misrepresented  or  spoke 
lightly  of  "the  divine  mission  of  our  Savior  or  of  trie 
Prophet  Joseph  Smith."  The  founding  of  these  institu- 
tions was  not  the  sum  of  President  Young's  labors  in  the 
cause  of  education.  The  entire  school  system  of  the  state, 
crowned  with  the  University  of  Utah,  is  largely  the  result 
of  his  zealous  efforts  in  this  direction. 

Among  the  president's  many  talents  was  a  genius  for 
architecture,  some  of  the  evidences  of  which  are  the  St. 
George,  Logan,  Manti  and  Salt  Lake  temples,  and  the  Salt 
Lake  tabernacle.  As  early  as  1862  he  built  the  Salt  Lake 
theatre,  at  the  time  of  its  erection  the  finest  temple  of  the 
drama  between  St.  Louis  and  San  Francisco.  The  Brigham 
Young  memorial  building,  one  of  a  group  of  structures 
belonging  to  the  Latter-day  Saints  university,  founded  by 
the  church  at  Salt  Lake  City,  was  erected  with  means 
raised  from  the  sale  of  lands  whereon  he  proposed  plac- 
ing the  Young  university;  said  lands  being  donated  by  his 
surviving  heirs  for  that  purpose. 

A  mere  sketch,  this,  of  the  life  and  character  of  Utah's 
Illustrious  founder.  You  who  would  peruse  him  more 
fully,  pore  over  the  annals  of  Mormonism  during  its  first  half 
century;  you  who  would  witness  his  works,  look  around 
you  —  they  are  manifest  on  every  hand.  He  was  not  only 
a  Moses,  who  led  his  people  into  a  wilderness,  but  a  Joshua 
who  established  them  in  a  promised  land  and  divided  to 
them  their  inheritance.  He  was  the  beatitude  heart,  the 
thinking  brain,  the  directing  hand  in  all  the  wondrous 
work  of  Utah's  development,  and  to  a  great  extent  the 
development  of  the  surrounding  states  and  territories,  trans- 
formed by  the  touch  of  industry  from  a  desert  of  sage- 
brush and  sand,  into  an  Eden  of  fertility,  a  veritable 
"Garden  of  the  Lord,"  redolent  of  fruits  and  blossoming 
with  flowers.  Brigham  Young  needs  no  monument  of  marble 
or  bronze.  His  record  is  imperishably  written  upon  the 
minds  and  hearts  of  many  tens  of  thousands  to  whom 
he  was  a  benefactor  and  friend.  His  name  and  fame  are 
forever  enshrined  in  the  temple  of  history,  in  the  Pantheon 
of  memory,  in  the  Westminster  Abbey  of  the  soul. 

"In  regard  to  the  Mountain  Meadow  Massacre,  Brigham 
Young  testified  that  he  knew  nothing  of  it  until  some 
time  after  it  occurred,  and  then  only  by  a  floating  rumor. 
The  first  official  report  was  from  John  D.  Lee,  two  or  three 
months  after  it  occurred." 

"He  personally  donated  $1,000  for  the  relief  of  the  people 
left  destitute  by  the  fire  in  Chicago  in  1871.  And  with 
donations  from  the  Salt  Lake  City  corporation,  the  receipts 
tendered  by  the  management  of  the  Salt  Lake  theatre,  and 
personal  donations,  the  amount  aggregated  about  $20,000." 

"At  the  annual  conference  of  the  church  in  April,  1873, 
he  resigned  the  office  of  trustee-in-trust,  which  he  had 
held  for  about  25  years,  and  George  A.  Smith  was  chosen 
to  succeed  him.  At  this  conference  he  chose  five  additional 
counselors  to  aid  him  in  the  presidency  of  the  church.  They 
were:  Lorenzo  Snow,  Brigham  Young,  Jr.,  Albert  Carring- 
ton,  John  W.  Young  and  George  Q.  Cannon." 

"His  last  public  address  was  Sunday  afternoon,  Aug.  19, 
1877,  at  Brigham  City.  The  occasion  was  the  organization 
of  Box  Elder  stake." 

Died  Aug.   29,   1877,  at  Salt  Lake  City.

Note: — These  historical  facts  are  presented  in  connection  with  this  work  to  show  why  Utah  was  settled  at  the  time  it 
was;  to  show  the  spirit  that  imbued  these  pioneers  to  suffer  the  privations,  hardships,  sacrifices  and  deaths  they  did,  that 
they  might  have  a  home  and  country  where  they  could  worship  God  according  to  the  dictates  of  their  conscience  and  in 
accord  with  their  religious  creed.  AUTHOR.

1S2O. — The  Baptists,  Methodists  and  Presbyterians  held 
protracted  revival  meetings  in  and  about  Palmyra,  N.  Y., 
which  resulted  in  great  contention  among  the  preachers  and 
members  of  the  different  sects  who  sought  to  influence  the 
new  converts  to  join  their  respective  churches.  Joseph 
Smith,  Jr.  (then  about  fourteen  years  old),  being  unable  to 
decide  which  of  all  the  sects  was  right,  and  being  deeply 
Impressed  with  the  promise  in  James  1,  5:  "If  any  of  you 
lack  wisdom,  let  him  ask  of  God  that  giveth  to  all  men 
liberally,  and  upbraideth  not;  and  it  shall  be  given  him,"  re- 
tired to  a  grove  near  his  father's  house,  early  in  the  spring 
of  the  year,  where  he  sought  the  Lord  in  earnest  prayer. 
While  thus  engaged,  he  beheld  two  glorious  beings  wrapped 
in  a  brilliant  light,  standing  above  him  In  the  air.  One  of 
them  spoke  to  him,  calling  him  by  name,  and  said  (pointing 
to  the  other),  "This  is  my  beloved  Son,  hear  Him."  Joseph 
then  asked  the  personages,  standing  above  him  in  the  light, 
which  of  the  sects  was  right  and  which  he  should  join. 
He  was  answered  that  he  must  join  none  of  them,  for  they 
were  all  wrong.  The  person  speaking  said  further  that  all 
their  creeds  were  an  abomination  in  his  sight  and  that 
"those  professors  were  all  corrupt."  "They  draw  near  to 
me  with  their  lips,  but  their  hearts  are  far  from  me;  they 
teach  for  doctrine  the  commandments  of  men,  having  a  form 
of  godliness;  but  they  deny  the  power  thereof." 

1821. — April  2. — Franklin  Dewey  Richards  was  born  in 
Richmond,  Berkshire  Co,  Mass. 

1823. — September  21. — Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  while  engaged  in 
earnest  prayer  in  his  father's  house  in  Manchester,  near 
Palmyra,  N.  Y.,  saw  the  room  in  which  he  had  retired  for 
the  night  filled  with  light  surpassing  that  of  noonday,  in 
the  midst  of  which  stood  a  person  dressed  in  white,  whose 
countenance  was  as  lightning,  and  yet  full  of  innocence 
and  goodness.  This  was  the  angel  Moroni  (sometimes  er- 
roneously called  Nephi),  who  Informed  Joseph  that  God  had 
a  work  for  him  (Joseph)  to  do,  and  that  his  "name  should 
be  had  for  good  and  evil  among  all  nations."  The  angel 
quoted  many  passages  of  Scripture,  and  told  Joseph  that 
the  native  inhabitants  of  America  were  a  remnant  of  Israel 
who  had  anciently  enjoyed  the  ministry  of  inspired  men, 
that  records  engraved  on  plates  of  gold,  containing  their 
history  and  also  the  fulness  of  the  everlasting  Gospel  had 
been  preserved  and  were  buried  In  a  neighboring  hill. 
While  conversing  with  the  angel,  a  vision  was  opened  to 
Joseph's  view,  so  that  he  could  see  the  place  where  the 
plates  were  deposited,  and  he  was  told  by  the  angel  that  he 
should  obtain  them  at  some  future  day,  if  he  was  faithful. 
After  imparting  many  instructions,  the  angel  disappeared, 
but  returned  twice  during  the  night,  and  repeated  what  he 
had  said  on  his  first  visit;  he  also  gave  further  instructions. 

September  22. — Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  was  again  visited  by  the 
angel  Moroni  and  received  further  instructions.  He  related 
what  he  had  seen  and  heard  to  his  father,  who  believed  his 
words,  and  advised  him  to  do  as  he  had  been  instructed. 
He  then  went  to  the  hill  (Cumorah)  that  he  had  seen  in 
his  vision  the  previous  night,  and  soon  found  the  spot  where 
the  plates  containing  the  ancient  records  were  burled  In  a 
stone  box.  He  lifted  the  lid  of  the  box  and  beheld  "the 
plates,  the  Urim  and  Thummim  and  breastplate,  as  stated 
by  the  angel."  While  attempting  to  "take  them  out,"  the 
angel  informed  him  "that  the  time  for  bringing  them  forth 
had  not  yet  arrived,  neither  would,  until  four  years  from 
that  time." 

1824.— September  22. — Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  again  visited  the 
hill  Cumorah,  according  to  previous  commandment,  and 
there  received  further  instructions  from  the  angel.  On 
the  same  day  of  the  two  following  years  he  made  similar 
visits  to  the  hill,  receiving  instructions  from  the  angel  each 
time.

Liverpool,  Lancashire,  England. 

January  18. — Joseph  Smith.  Jr.,  married  Emma  Hale,  a 
daughter  of  Isaac  Hale,  while  In  the  employ  of  Joslah 
Stoal,  in  Chenango  County,  N.  Y. 

September  22. — The  angel  Moroni  delivered  to  Joseph 
Smith,  Jr.,  the  ancient  records,  or  the  plates  of  the  Book

of  Mormon;   also   the  Urira  and   Thummim,   with  which   to 
translate   them,  and   the  breastplate. 

When  it  became  known  that  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  had  ob- 
tained the  plates,  severe  persecutions  arose  against  him  and 
his  father's  family,  and  every  effort  was  made  to  rob  him 
of  the  sacred  treasure. 

December.— Owing  to  persecutions  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  re- 
moved from  Manchester,  N.  Y.,  to  Harmony,  Susquehanna 
Co.,  Pa.,  but  there  also  persecution  awaited  him.  During 
this  and  the  following  month  he  translated  some  of  the 
characters  of  the  plates. 

1828. — February. — Martin  Harris  visited  Joseph  Smith,  Jr., 
at  Harmony,  Pa.,  and  took  some  of  the  characters,  which 
had  been  transcribed,  and  the  translation  of  them,  to  New 
York  City,  where  he  showed  them  to  Professor  Charles 
Anthon  and  Doctor  Mitchell. 

April. — Martin  Harris  returned  from  New  York  City  and 
commenced  to  write  for  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  who  continued  to 
translate  from  the  plates  until  June  14th. 

June. — Martin  Harris  lost  the  manuscript  which  he  had 
obtained  contrary  to  the  will  of  the  Lord.  It  consisted  of 
116  written  pages  translated  from  the  plates  by  Joseph 
Smith,  Jr.,  and  has  never  since  been  recovered. 

July. — Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  having  returned  to  Harmony, 
Pa.,  from  a  visit  to  his  father's  family  in  Manchester,  N. 
Y.,  enquired  of  the  Lord  through  the  Urim  and  Thummim 
and  received  the  first  revelation  published  in  the  Book  of 
Doctrine  and  Covenants.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  3.) 

1829.— February. — Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  was  visited  by  his 
father,  Joseph  Smith,  Sr.,  at  Harmony,  Pa.,  and  received  a 
revelation  addressed  to  him.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  4.) 

March. — The  revelation  known  as  Section  5  of  the  Doc- 
trine and  Covenants  was  given  at  Harmony. 

April.  Sun  5.— Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  and  Oliver  Cowdery 
met  for  the  first  time. 

Tues.  7. — Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  resumed  the  translation  of  the 
Book  of  Mormon,  assisted  by  Oliver  Cowdery  as  scribe,  at 
Harmony. 

Later  in  April,  Oliver  Cowdery  was  called  by  revelation  to 
assist  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  in  his  labors  and  stand  by  him  in 
his  difficulties.  Oliver  was  also  promised  the  gift  of  trans- 
lating like  Joseph,  if  he  desired  it. 

Therefore  be  diligent,  stand  by  my  servant  Joseph,  faithfully. 
In  whatsoever  difficult  circumstances  'he  may  be  for  the  word's 
sake. 

Admonish  him  in  his  faults,  and  also  receive  admonition  of  him. 
Be  patient;  be  sober;  be  temperate;  have  patience,  faith,  hope  and 
charity.  *  •  • 

And,  behold.  I  grant  unto  you  a  gift,  if  you  desire  of  me,  to 
translate  even  as  my  servant  Joseph. — Doc.  and  Cov.  6:18,  19,  25. 

The  Lord  revealed  to  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  that  John,  the 
beloved  Disciple  was  given  power  over  death,  that  he  might 
live  and  bring  souls  to  Christ  and  to  prophesy  before  na- 
tions, kindreds,  tongues  and  people  until  the  coming  of 
Christ  in  his  glory.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  7.) 
Translated  from  parchment,  written  and  hid  up  by  himself  (John). 

And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  John,  my  beloved,  what  deslrest 
thou?  For  if  ye  shall  ask,  what  you  will,  it  shall  be  granted 
unto  you. 

And  1  said  unto  him,  Lord,  give  unto  me  power  over  death,  that 
t  may  live  and  bring,  souls  unto  thee. 

And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Verily,  verily,'  I  say  unto  thee, 
because  thou  deslrest  this  thou  shalt  tarry  until  I  come  in  my 
glory,  and  sbalt  prophesy  before  nations,  kindred,  tongues  and 
people. — Doc.  and  Cov.  7:1-3. 

Oliver  Cowdery  was  instructed  by  revelation  through  Jo- 
seph Smith,  Jr.,  to  exercise  great  faith,  that  he  might  know 
the  mysteries  of  God,  translate  and  receive  knowledge  from 
ancient  records.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  8.) 

Ask  that  you  may  know  the  mysteries  of  God,  and  that  you  may 
translate  and  receive  knowledge  from  all  those  ancient  records 
which  have  been  hid  up,  that  are  sacred,  and  according  to  your 
faith  shall  it  be  done  unto  you. — Doc.  and  Cov.  8:11. 

As  Oliver  Cowdery  did  not  translate,  according  to  his 
former  desire,  he  was  commanded  to  write  for  Joseph  Smith, 
Jr.,  until  the  translation  of  the  Book  of  Mormon  was 
finished. 

Behold,  I  say  unto  you,  my  son  (Oliver  Cowdery),  that  because 
you  did  not  translate  according  to  that  which  you  desired  of  me, 
and  did  commence  again  to  write  for  my  servant,  Joseph  Smith, 
Jr.,  even  so  I  would  that  ye  should  continue  until  you  have 
finished  this  record,  which  I  have  entrusted  unto  him. — Doc.  and 
Cov.  9:1. 

May — A  revelation  concerning  the  alteration  of  the  fore- 
part of  the  Book  of  Mormon  was  given  to  Joseph  Smith,  Jr., 
at  Harmony.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  10.) 

Verily,  I  say  unto  you.  that  I  will  not  suffer  that  Satan  shall 
accomplish  his  evil  design  In  this  thing, 

For,  behold,  he  has  put  it  into  their  hearts  to  get  thee  to  tempt 
the  Lord  thy  God,  in  asking  to  translate  it  over  again; 

And  then,  behold,  they  say  and  think  in  their  hearts,  we  will 
see  if  God  has  given  him  power  to  translate,  if  so,  he  will  also 
give  him  power  again; 

And  if  God  giveth  him  power  again,  or  if  he  translates  again,  or 
in  other  words,  if  he  bringeth  forth  the  same  words,  behold,  we 
have  the  same  with  us,  and  we  have  altered  them: 

Therefore,  they  will  not  agree,  and  we  will  say  that  he  has  lied 
in  his  words,  and  that  he  has  no  gift,  and  that  he  has  no 
power.  *  *  * 

And  now.  because  the  account  which  is  engraven  upon  the  plates 
of  Nephi  Is  more  particular  concerning  the  things  which,  in  my 
wisdom.  I  would  bring  to  the  knowledge  of  the  people  In  this 
account; 

Therefore,  you  shall  translate  the  engravings  which  are  on  the 
plates  of  Nephi,  down  even  till  you  come  to  the  reign  of  king 
Benjamin,  or  until  you  come  to  that  which  you  have  translated, 
which  you  have  retained: 

And  behold,  you  shall  publish  it  as  the  record  of  Nephi,  and  thus 
I  will  confound  those  who  have  altered  my  words. — Doc.  and  Cov. 
10:14-18:  40-42. 

— Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  was  visited  by  Joseph  Knight,  Sr., 
from  Broome  Co.,  N.  Y.,  who  brought  him  provisions.  Mr. 
Knight  being  anxious  to  know  his  duty  in  relation  to  the 


work  of  God,  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  enquired  of  the  Lord  and 
received  a  revelation. 

Now,  as  you  have  (Joseph  Knight,  Sr.)  asked,  behold,  I  say 
unto  you,  keep  my.  commandments,  and  seek  to  bring  forth  and 
establish  the  cause  of  Zion. 

Behold,  I  speak  unto  you,  and  also  to  all  those  who  have  desires 
to  bring  forth  and  establish  this  work. 

And  no  one  can  assist  in  this  work,  except  he  shall  be  humble 
and  full  of  love,  having  faith,  hope,  and  charity,  being  temperate 
In  all  things,  whatsoever  shall  be  intrusted  to  his  care. — Doc  and 
Cov.  12:6-8. 

Fri.  15 — -While  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  and  Oliver  Cowdery  were 
engaged  in  prayer  in  the  woods,  near  Harmony,  John  the 
Baptist  descended  as  a  messenger  from  heaven  in  a  cloud 
of  light  and  ordained  them  to  the  Priesthood  of  Aaron  and 
commanded  them  to  baptize  and  ordain  each  other.  This 
they  did  the  same  day.  Immediately  after  being  baptized, 
the  Holy  Ghost  fell  upon  them  in  great  measure  and  both 
prophesied.  (See  History  of  Joseph  Smith.) 

Words  of  the  Angel,  John,  (the  Baptist,)  spoken  to  Joseph  Smith, 
Jr.,  and  Oliver  Cowdery,  as  he  (the  angel)  laid  his  bunds  upon 
their  heads  and  ordained  them  to  the  Aaronlc  Priesthood,  In 
Harmon}',  Susquehanna  County,  Pennsylvania,  May  15th,  1829. 

Upon  you  my  fellow  servants.  In  the  name  of  Messiah,  I  confer 
the  Priesthood  of  Aaron,  which  holds  the  keys  of  the  ministering 
of  angels,  and  of  the  gospel  of  repentance,  and  of  baptism  by 
immersion  for  the  remission  of  sins;  and  this  shall  never  be  taken 
again  from  the  earth,  until  the  sons  of  Levl  do  offer  again  an 
offering  unto  the  Lord  in  righteousness. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  13. 

Mon.  25. — Samuel  Harrison  Smith,  who  had  come  to  visit 
his  brother  Joseph  at  Harmony,  was  baptized  by  Oliver 
Cowdery. 

A  few  days  later  Hyrum  Smith  visited  Harmony  to  make 
enquiries  about  the  work  of  God,  and  received  through  his 
brother  Joseph  a  revelation,  calling  him  to  assist  in  the 
work. 

Now,  as  you  (Hyrum  Smith)  have  asked,  behold.  I  say  unto  you, 
keep  my  commandments,  and  seek  to  bring  forth  and  establish  the 
cause  of  Zion. — Doc.  and  Cov.  11:6. 

June. — Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  removed  from  Harmony,  Pa.,  to 
the  home  of  Peter  Whitmer,  Sr.,  at  Fayette,  Seneca  Co 
N.  Y.,  where  he  resided  while  finishing  the  translation  of 
the  Book  of  Mormon.  The  Whitmer  family  was  very  kind 
to  Joseph,  and  John  Whitmer  rendered  efficient  aid  as  a 
scribe. 

— David  Whitmer,  John  Whitmer  and  Peter  Whitmer,  Jr., 
being  very  desirous  to  know  their  respective  duties,  be- 
sought Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  to  "enquire  of  the  Lord  concerning 
them."  He  did  so  through  the  Urim  and  Thummim,  and  re- 
ceived the  revelations  known  as  Sections  14,  15  and  16  of 
the  Doctrine  and  Covenants. 

— Hyrum  Smith,  David  Whitmer  and  Peter  Whitmer,  Jr., 
were  baptized  in  Seneca  lake,  near  Fayette. 

— As  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  progressed  with  the  work  of  trans- 
lation, he  ascertained  that  three  special  witnesses  "were  to 
be  provided  by  the  Lord"  to  see  the  plates  and  bear  record 
of  the  same.  (Ether.  5:2-4.)  Oliver  Cowdery,  David  Whit- 
mer and  Martin  Harris,  being  very  desirous  to  "be  these 
three  special  witnesses,"  received  the  promise  by  revelation 
through  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  that  they  should  "have  a  view 
of  the  plates,  and  also  of  the  breastplate,  the  sword  of 
Laban,  the  Urim  and  Thummim  and  the  miraculous  direc- 
tors." 

Revelation  given  through  Joseph,  the  Seer,  to  Oliver  Cowdery, 
David  Whitmer,  and  Martin  Harris,  In  Fayette.  Seneca  County, 
New  York,  June.  1829,  given  previous  to  their  viewing  the 
plates  containing  the  Book  of  Mormon. 

Behold,  I  say  unto  you,  that  you  must  rely  upon  my  word,  which 
if  you  do,  with  full  purpose  of  heart,  you  shall  have  a  view  of  the 
plates,  and  also  of  the  breastplate,  the  sword  of  Laban.  the  Urim 
and  Thummim,  which  were  given  to  the  brother  of  Jared  upon  the 
mount,  when  he  talked  with  the  Lord  face  to  face,  and  the  miracu- 
lous directors  which  were  given  to  Lehi  while  In  the  wilderness, 
on  the  borders  of  the  Red  Sea; 

And  it  is  by  your  faith  that  you  shall  obtain  a  view  of  them, 
even  by  that  faith  which  was  had  by  the  prophets  of  old. 

And  after  that  you  have  obtained  faith,  and  have  seen  them  with 
your  eyes,  you  shall  testify  of  them,  by  the  power  of  God; 

And  this  you  shall  do  that  my  servant,  Joseph  Smith,  Jr..  may 
not  be  destroyed,  that  I  may  bring  about  my  righteous  purposes 
unto  the  children  of  men  in  this  work. 

And  ye  shall  testify  that  you  have  seen  them,  even  as  my  servant 
Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  has  seen  them,  for  It  Is  by  my  power  that  h« 
has  seen  them,  and  it  Is  because  he  had  faith; 

And  he  has  translated  the  book,  even  that  part  which  I  have 
commanded  him,  and  as  your  Lord  and  your  God  liveth  It  Is  true. 

Wherefore  you  have  received  the  same  power,  and  the  same 
faith,  and  the  same  gift  like  unto  him: 

And  if  you  do  these  last  commandments  of  mine,  which  I  have 
given  you,  the  gates  of  hell  shall  not  prevail  against  you;  for  my 
grace  is  sufficient  for  you,  and  you  shall  be  lifted  up  at  the  last 
day. 

And  T,  Jesus  Christ,  your  Lord  and  your  God,  have  spoken  It 
unto  you,  that  I  might  bring  about  my  righteous  purposes  unto  the 
children  of  men.  Amen. — Doc.  and  Cov.  17. 

— A  few  days  later  an  angel  showed  the  plates  of  the

And  again,  by  way  of  commandment  to  the  church  concerning  the 
manner  of  baptism. 

All  those  who  humble  themselves  before  God,  and  desire  to  be 
baptized  and  come  forth  with  broken  hearts  and  contrite  spirits, 
and  witness  before  the  church  that  they  have  truly  repented  of  all 
their  sins,  and  are  willing  to  take  upon  them  the  name  of  Jesus 
Christ,  having  a  determination  to  serve  him  to  the  end,  and  truly 
manifest  by  their  works  that  they  have  received  of  the  Spirit  of 
Christ  unto  the  remission  of  their  sins,  shall  be  received  by  baptism 
Into  his  church. 

The  duty  of  the  elders,  priests,  teachers,  deacons,  and  members  of 
the  church  of  Christ. 

An  apostle  is  an  elder,  and  it  is  his  calling  to  baptize. 

And   to   ordain   other  elders,    priests,    teachers,   and   deacons. 

And  to  administer  bread  and  wine — the  emblems  of  the  flesh  and 
blood  of  Christ — 

And  to  confirm  those  who  are  baptized  into  the  church,  by  the 
laying  on  of  hands  for  the  baptism  of  fire  and  the  Holy  Ghost, 
according  to  the  scriptures; 

And  to  teach,  expound,  exhort,  baptize,  and  watch  over  the 
church; 

And  to  confirm  the  church  by  the  laying  on  of  the  hands,  and 
the  giving  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

And  to   take   the  lead  of  all  meetings. 

The  elders  are  to  conduct  the  meetings  as  they  are  led  by  the 
Holy  Ghost,  according  to  the  commandments  and  revelations  of 
God. 

The  priest's  duty  Is  to  preach,  teach,  expound,  exhort,  and  bap- 
tize, and  administer  the  sacrament. 

And  visit  the  house  of  each  member,  and  exhort  them  to  pray 
vocally  and  in  secret,  and  attend  to  all  family  duties; 

And   he    may   also   ordain    other    priests,    teachers,    and    deacons. 

And  he  Is  to  take  the  lead  of  meetings  when  there  is  no  elder 
present; 

But  when  there  is  an  elder  present,  he  is  only  to  preach,  teach, 
expound,  exhort,  and  baptize. 

And  visit  the  house  of  each  member,  exhorting  them  to  pray 
vocally  and  in  secret,  and  attend  to  all  family  duties. 

In  all  these  duties  the  priest  Is  to  assist  the  elder  if  occasion 
requires. 

The  teacher's  duty  is  to  watch  over  the  church  always,  and  be 
with  and  strengthen  them, 

And  see  that  there  is  no  iniquity  in  the  church — neither  hardness 
with  each  other — neither  lying,  backbiting,  nor  evil  speaking; 

And  see  that  the  church  meet  together  often,  and  also  see  that 
all  the  members  do  their  duty; 

And  he  is  to  take  the  lead  of  meetings  in  the  absence  of  the 
elder  or  priest — 

And  is  to  be  assisted  always,  in  all  his  duties  in  the  church,  by 
the  deacons,  if  occasion  requires; 

But  neither  teachers  nor  deacons  have  authority  to  baptize,  ad- 
minister the  sacrament,  or  lay  on  hands: 

They  are,  however,  to  warn,  expound,  exhort,  and  teach  and 
Invite  all  to  come  unto  Christ. 

Every  elder,  priest,  teacher,  or  deacon,  is  to  be  ordained  according 
to  the  gifts  and  callings  of  God  unto  him;  and  he  is  to  be  ordained 
by  the  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  which  is  hi  the  one  who  ordains 
him. 

The  several  elders,  composing  this  church  of  Christ  are  to  meet 
In  conference  once  in  three  months,  or  from  time  to  time  as  said 
conferences  shall  direct  or  appoint; 

And  said  conferences  are  to  do  whatever  church  business  is  neces- 
sary to  be  done  at  the  time. 

The  elders  are  to  receive  their  licenses  from  other  elders,  by  vote 
of  the  church  to  which  they  belong,  or  from  the  conferences. 

Each  priest,  teacher,  or  deacon,  who  is  ordained  by  a  priest  may 
take  a  certificate  from  him  at  the  time,  which  certificate  when 
presented  to  an  elder,  shall  entitle  him  to  a  license,  which  shall 
authorize  him  to  perform  the  duties  of  his  calling,  or  he  may  receive 
It  from  a  conference. 

No  person  is  to  be  ordained  to  any  office  in  this  church,  where 
there  is  a  regularly  organized  branch  of  the  same,  without  the  vote 
of  that  church; 

But  the  presiding  elders,  traveling  bishops.  High  Counselors,  High 
Priests,  and  elders,  may  have  the  privilege  of  ordaining,  where  there 
Is  no  branch  of  the  church  that  a  vote  may  be  called. 

Every    President    of    the    High     Priesthood     (or    presiding    elder), 
bishop.   High  Counselor,   and   High   Priest,    is  to  be  ordained  by  the 
direction   of  a   High   Council   or   general   conference. 
The  duty  of  the  membevs  after  they  are  received  by  baptism. 

The  elders  or  priests  are  to  have  a  sufficient  time  to  expound  all 
things  concerning  the  church  of  Christ  to  their  understanding, 
previous  to  their  partaking  of  the  sacrament  and  being  confirmed 
by  the  laying  on  of  the  hands  of  the  elders,  so  that  all  things 
may  be  done  in  order. 

And  the  members  shall  manifest  before  the  church,  and  also 
before  the  elders,  by  a  Godly  walk  and  conversation,  that  they  are 


worthy  of  It.   that  there  may  be  works  and  faith  agreeable  to  the 
Holy  Scriptures — walking  in   holiness  before   the   Lord. 

Every  member  of  the  church  of  Christ  having  children.  Is  to 
bring  them  unto  the  elders  before  the  church,  who  are  to  lay  their 
hands  upon  them  in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  bless  them  in 
his  name. 

No  one  can  be  received  into  the  church  of  Christ,  unless  he  hao 
arrived  unto  the  years  of  accountability  before  God,  and  is  capable 
of  repentance. 

Baptism  is  to  be  administered  in  the  following  manner  unto  all 
those  who  repent; — 

The  person  who  is  called  of  God,  and  has  authority  from  Jesus 
Christ  to  baptize,  shall  go  down  into  the  water  with  the  person  who 
has  presented  him  or  herself  for  baptism,  and  shall  say,  calling 
him  or  her  by  name — Having  been  commissioned  of  Jesus  Christ.  I 
baptize  you  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the 
Holy  Ghost.  Amen. 

Then  shall  he  immerse  him  or  her  in  the  water,  and  come  forth 
again  out  of  the  water. 

It  Is  expedient  that  the  church  meet  together  often  to  partake  of 
bread  and  wine  in  the  remembrance  of  the  Lord  Jesus; 

And  the  elder  or  priest  shall  administer  it:  and  after  this  manner 
shall  he  administer  it — he  shall  kneel  with  the  church  and  call 
upon  the  Father  in  solemn  prayer,  saying — 

O  God,  the  eternal  Father,  we  ask  thee  In  the  name  of  thy  Son, 
Jesus  Christ,  to  bless  and  sanctify  this  bread  to  the  souls  of  all 
those  who  partake  of  it,  that  they  may  eat  in  remembrance  of  the 
body  of  thy  Son.  and  witness  unto  thee.  O  God,  the  eternal  Father, 
that  they  are  willing  to  take  upon  them  the  name  of  thy  Son,  and 
always  remember  him  and  keep  his  commandments  which  he  has 
given  them,  that  they  may  always  have  his  Spirit  to  be  with  them. 
Amen. 

The  manner  of  administering  the  wine.  He  shall  take  the  cup 
also,  and  say — 

O  God.  the  eternal  Father,  we  ask  thee  in  the  name  of  thy  Son, 
Jesus  Christ,  to  bless  and  sanctify  this  wine  to  the  souls  of  all 
those  who  drink  of  it,  that  they  may  do  it  in  remembrance  of  the 
blood  of  thy  Son,  which  was  shed  for  them:  that  they  may  witness 
unto  thee,  O  God,  the  eternal  Father,  that  they  do  always  remember 
him,  that  they  may  have  his  Spirit  to  be  with  them.  Amen. 

Any  member  of  the  church  of  Christ  transgressing,  or  being  over- 
taken in  a  fault,  shall  be  dealt  with  as  the  scriptures  direct. 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  several  churches  composing  the  church 
of  Christ,  to  send  one  or  more  of  their  teachers  to  attend  the 
several  conferences  held  by  the  elders  of  the  church. 

With  a  list  of  the  names  of  the  several  members  uniting  them- 
selves with  the  church  since  the  last  conference,  or  send  by  the 
hand  of  some  priest,  so  that  a  regular  list  of  all  the  names  of  the 
whole  church  may  be  kept  in  a  book  by  one  of  the  elders,  whoever 
the  other  elders  shall  appoint  from  time  to  time; 

And  also  if  any  have  been  expelled  from  the  church,  so  that  their 
names  may  be  blotted  out  of  the  general  church  record  of  names. 

All  members  removing  from  the  church  where  they  reside,  if 
going  to  a  church  where  they  are  not  known,  may  take  a  letter, 
certifying  that  they  are  regular  members  and  In  good,  standing, 
which  certificate  may' be  signed  by  any  elder  or  priest,  if  the  member 
receiving  the  letter  is  personally  acquainted  with  the  elder  or 
priest,  or  it  may  be  signed  by  the  teachers  or  deacons  of  the  church.

CHURCH  ORGANIZATION 

The  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints  was  or- 
ganized with  six  members,  April  6,  1830,  at  a  meeting  held  at 
Fayette,  Seneca  Co.,  N.  Y. 

The  general  authorities  of  the  Church  consists  of  (1)  The 
First  Presidency;  (2)  The  Council  of  Twelve  Apostles;  (3) 
Presiding  Patriarch;  (4)  The  First  Council  of  Seventies; 
(5)  The  Presiding  Bishopric;  (6)  Church  Historians. 

THE  FIRST  PRESIDENCY 

Joseph  Smith  the  Prophet,  "who  was  called  of  God  and  or- 
dained an  Apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the  first  Elder  of 
this  Church"  was  the  first  President  of  the  Church  of  Jesus 
Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints.  For  nearly  three  years  after  its 
organization  he  acted  without  Counselors,  but  close  by  his 
side  and  associated  with  him  in  nearly  all  his  administra- 
tions, stood  Oliver  Cowdery,  "who  was  called  of  God,  an 
Apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the  second  Elder  of  this 
Church,  and  ordained  under  his  (Joseph's)  hand." 

"Which  commandments  were  given  to  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  who  was 
called  of  God.  and  ordained  an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the 
first  elder  of  this  church;  and  to  Oliver  Cowdery,  who  was  also  called 
of  God,  an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the  second  elder  of  this 
church,  and  ordained  under  his  hand." — Doc.  and  Cov.  20:2-3. 

March  18.  1833,  agreeable  to  a  revelation  given  March  8, 
1833,  the  Prophet  Joseph  ordained  Sidney  Rigdon  to  be  his 
first,  and  Frederick  G.  Williams  to  be  his  second,  Counselor. 

"And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  thy  brethren,  Sidney  Rigdon  and 
Frederick  G.  Williams,  their  sins  are  forgiven  them  also,  and  they 
are  accounted  as  equal  with  thee  in  holding  the  keys  of  this  last 
Kingdom." — Doc.  and  Cov.  90:6. 

Prior  to  this,  at  a  Conference  held  at  Amherst,  Lorain  Co., 
Ohio,  Jan.  25,  1832,  Joseph  the  Prophet  had  been  acknowl- 
edged as  President  of  the  High  Priesthood.  A  similar  action 
was  taken  at  a  General  Council,  held  April  26,  1832,  at  Inde- 
pendence. Jackson  Co.,  Mo. 

At  an  Important  Conference  held  at  Far  West,  Caldwell  Co., 


Mo.,  Nov.  7,  1837,  Frederick  G.  Williams  was  rejected  as  a 
Counselor  to  Pres.  Smith,  charges  having  previously  been 
made  against  him  at  a  Conference  held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio, 
Sept.  3,  1837.  On  the  same  occasion  Hyrum  Smith  was  ap- 
pointed his  successor  by  unanimous  vote.  Hyrum  Smith 
filled  his  position  with  honor  and  ability,  until  some  time 
after  the  demise  of  his  father,  Joseph  Smith,  Sr.,  who  died 
at  Nauvoo,  111.,  Sept.  14,  1840. 

In  a  revelation  given  through  Joseph  the  Prophet  at 
Nauvoo,  Jan.  19,  1841,  Hyrum  Smith  was  called  to  take  the 
office  of  Patriarch  to  the  Church,  as  his  father's  successor1. 
In  the  same  revelation  William  Law  was  called  to  succeed 
Hyrum  Smith2  as  second  Counselor  to  Pres.  Joseph  Smith. 
William  Law  occupied  this  position  until  April  18,  1844,  when 
he,  together  with  others,  who  like  himself  had  apostatized, 
were  excommunicated  from  the  Church. 

"And  again,  verily  r  say  unto  you;  Let  my  servant  William  (Law) 
be  appointed,  ordained,  and  anointed,  as  a  counselor  unto  my  servant 
Joseph,  in  the  room  of  my  servant  Hyrum,  that  my  servant  Hyrum 
may  take  the  office  of  Priesthood  and  2JPatriarch,  which  was  ap- 
pointed unto  him  by  his  father,  by  blessing  and  also  by  right." — 
Doc.  and  Cov.  124:91. 

"Let  him  assist  my  servant  Joseph;  and  also  let  my  servant 
William  Law  assist  my  servant  Joseph,  in  making  a  2ssolemn  procla- 
mation unto  the  kings  of  the  earth,  even  as  I  have  before  said  unto 
you." — Doc.  and  Cov.  124:107. 

Joseph  the  Prophet  was  martyred  at  Carthage,  111.,  June  27, 
1844,  when  the  responsibility  of  presiding  over  the  Church 
fell  upon  the  Twelve  Apostles.  They  constituted  the  pre- 
siding Council  of  the  Church  till  Dec.  5,  1847,  when  an  import- 
ant council  meeting  was  held  at  the  house  of  Apostle  Orson 
Hyde.  On  this  occasion  Brigham  Young  was  unanimously 
elected  President  of  the  Church,  with  authority  to  choose  his 
Counselors,  which  he  did  by  naming  Heber  C.  Kimball  for 
his  first  and  Willard  Richards  for  his  second  Counselor.  The 
following  Apostles  attended  this  council  meeting:  Brigham 
Young,  Heber  C.  Kimball,  Orson  Hyde,  Willard  Richards, 
Wilford  Woodruff,  Geo.  A.  Smith,  Amasa  M.  Lyman  and  Ezra 
T.  Benson.  These  transactions  on  the  part  of  the  Twelve

COUNCIL,   OF  TWELVE  APOSTLES 

In  a  revelation,  given  through  Joseph  the  Prophet,  in 
June.  1829,  at  Fayette,  Seneca  Co.,  N.  Y..  the  Lord  made 
known  that  Twelve  Apostles  should  be  called  in  this  dis- 
pensation. 


"And  now,  behold,  there  are  others  who  are  called  to  declare  my 
gospel,  °both  unto  Gentile  and  unto  Jew; 

"Yea,  even  Twelve,  and  the  Twelve  shall  be  my  disciples,  and 
they  shall  take  upon  them  my  name;  and  the  Twelve  are  they  who 
shall  desire  to  take  upon  them  my  name  with  full  purpose  of  heart; 

"And  if  they  desire  to  take  upon  them  my  name  with  full  purpose 
of  heart,  they  are  called  to  go  into  all  the  world  to  preach  my  gospel 
unto  every  creature. 

"And  now,  behold,  t  give  unto  you  Oliver  Cowdery,  and  also  unto 
David  TVhitmer,  that  you  shall  search  out  the  Twelve,  who  shall 
have  the  desires  of  which  I  have  spoken; 

"And  by  their  desires  and  their  works  you  shall  know  them. — Doc. 
and  Cov.  18:26-28;  37-3S. 

Nearly  six  years  later,  on  Feb.  14,  1835,  at  a  special  meet- 
ing, held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  Joseph  the  Prophet,  in  accord- 
ance with  that  revelation,  blessed  Oliver  Cowdery,  David 
Whitmer  and  Martin  Harris,  the  Three  Witnesses  to  the 
Book  of  Mormon,  to  select  twelve  men  who  should  consti- 
tute the  Council  of  Twelve  Apostles.  They  were  chosen  by 
the  Three  Witnesses  in  the  following  order:  Lyman  B. 
Johnson,  Brigham  Young,  Heber  C.  Kimball,  Orson  Hyde,

John  F.  Boynton,  Orson  Pratt,  William  Smith,  Thos.  B. 
Marsh  and  Parley  F.  Pratt.  Most  of  these  brethren  the 
previous  year  (1834)  had  proved  their  faithfulness  and  in- 
tegrity to  the  Church  as  members  of  Zion's  Camp,  which 
journeyed  from  Kirtland,  Ohio,  to  Missouri  and  back,  sub- 
ject to  much  suffering  and  many  privations.  They  were 
ordained  to  the  Apostleship  by  Joseph  Smith,  Oliver  Cow- 
dery, David  Whitmer  and  Martin  Harris  as  follows:  Lyman 

E.  Johnson,   Brigham  Young  and  Heber  C.   Kimball  on  Feb. 
14,    1835;    Orson   Hyde,    David   W.   Patten,   Luke   S.   Johnson, 
Wm.  B.  McLellin,  John  F.  Boynton  and  William  Smith  on  the 
following  day,   Feb.   15th;  Parley  P.  Pratt  on  Feb.  21st;  and 
Thomas  B.  Marsh  and  Orson  Pratt,  who  had  been  absent  on 
missions,   in  April,   1835.     At  a  grand  council,   held  at  Kirt- 
land, Ohio,  May   2,   1835,  at  which  the  First  Presidency  was 
In  attendance,  the  Twelve  were  arranged  according  to  their 
age,  after  which  they  stood  as  follows,  commencing  with  the

Heber  C.  Kimball,  Orson. Hyde.  William  E.  McLellin,  Parley 
P.  Pratt,  Luke  S.  Johnson,  William  Smith,  Orson  Pratt,  John 

F.  Boynton  and  Lyman  E.  Johnson. 

In  1837  and  1838  four  of  the  Twelve  apostatized,  namely, 
John  F.  Boynton,  disfellowshipped  Sept.  3,  1837,  at  Kirt-

July  8,  1838,  John  Taylor,  John  E.  Page,  Wilford  Woodruff 
and  Willard  Richards  were  called  by  revelation  to  fill  the 
places  of  those  who  had  fallen.  Elders  Page  and  Taylor

1839,  at  Far  West,  Missouri;  and  Willard  Richards  April  14, 

1840,  at  Preston,  England. 

In  the  meantime  other  vacancies  occurred.  David  W.  Pat- 
ten was  killed  in  the  Crooked  River  battle,  in  Missouri,  Oct. 

25,  1838,  and   Thos.  B.  Marsh  was  excommunicated  for  apos- 
tasy, March  17,   1839.  at  Quincy,   111.     To  fill  the  two  vacan- 
cies   occasioned    thereby,    George   A.    Smith    (ordained    April 

26,  1839,    at   Far    West,    Mo.)    and    Lyman   Wight    (ordained 
April  8,  1841,  at  Nauvoo,  111.),  were  chosen. 

William  Smith  was  rejected  as  an  Apostle,  at  the  general 
conference  held  at  Nauvoo,  In  October,  1845,  and  finally  ex-

dained July  16.  1846,  at  Council  Bluffs,  Iowa,  were  chosen  to 
fill  the  vacancies. 

The  reorganization  of  the  First  Presidency  in  December, 
x!847,  with  three  of  the  Apostles  (Brigham  Young,  Heber  C. 
Kimball  and  Willard  Richards),  and  the  excommunication  of 
Lyman  Wright  for  apostasy,  Feb.  12,  1849.  made  four  va- 
cancies in  the  Council  of  the  Twelve.  These  were  filled  Feb. 
12,  1849,  at  an  important  council  meeting  held  in  the  "Old 
Fort,"  Great  Salt  Lake  City,  when  Elders  Charles  C.  Rich, 
Lorenzo  Snow,  Erastus  Snow  and  Franklin  D.  Richards  were 
ordained  Apostles. 

The  next  vacancy  occurred  May  13,  1857,  when  Parley  P. 
Pratt  was  assassinated  near  Van  Buren,  Arkansas.  George 
Q.  Cannon  was  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancy,  being  ordained  an 
Apostle  Aug.  20,  1860,  Great  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah. 

In  October,  1867,  Amasa  M.  Lyman  was  dropped  from  the 
Council  of  the  Twelve;  and  Joseph  F.  Smith,  who  had  pre- 
viously been  ordained  to  the  Apostleship,  was  chosen  to  fill 
the  vacancy,  Oct.  6,  1867,  at  a  general  conference. 

Geo.  A.  Smith  was  chosen  as  first  Counselor  to  Pres.  Brig- 
ham  Young,  after  the  demise  of  Heber  C.  Kimball  in  1868. 
Elder  Brigham  Young,  Jr.,  who  previously  had  been  or- 
dained an  Apostle,  was  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancy,  being  sus- 
tained as  a  member  of  the  Council  of  the  Twelve  at  the  gen- 
eral conference  held  Oct.  9,  1S68. 

Elder  Ezra  T.  Benson  died  Sept.  3.  1869,  at  Ogden,  Utah. 
Albert  Carrington  was  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancy,  and  was 
ordained  an  Apostle,  July  3,  1870,  in  Salt  Lake  City. 

Orson  Hyde,  who  had  acted  as  president  of  the  Twelve 
Apostles,  from  the  reorganization  of  the  First  Presidency  in 
1847,  to  October,  1875,  died  Nov.  28,  1878,  at  Spring  City, 
Sanpete  Co.,  Utah.  At  the  annual  conference,  held  April  7, 
1879,  Elder  Moses  Thatcher  was  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancy. 

After  the  death  of  Pres.  Brigham  Young,  in  1877,  the 
Twelve  Apostles  presided  over  the  Church  nearly  three  years. 
Daniel  H.  Wells  and  John  W.  Young,  who  had  acted  as  Pres. 
Brigham  Young's  Counselors,  were  sustained  by  the  Church 
as  Counselors  to  the  Twelve. 

Another  reorganization  of  the  First  Presidency  took  place, 
Oct.  10,  1880,  at  the  general  conference  held  in  Salt  Lake 
City,  three  of  the  Apostles  (John  Taylor,  Geo.  Q.  Cannon  atid 
Joseph  F.  Smith,)  being  chosen  to  constitute  said  Presidency. 
This  caused  three  vacancies  in  the  Council  of  the  Twelve, 
two  of  which  were  filled  Oct.  27,  1880,  by  the  ordination  of 
Francis  M.  Lyman  and  John  Henry  Smith  to  the  Apostleship. 


PIONEERS  AND  PROMINENT  MEN   OF  UTAH 


1281 


Orson  Pratt,  the  last  surviving  member  of  the  first  Coun- 
cil of  Twelve  Apostles,  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,  Oct.  3, 
1881.  The  vacancy  occasioned  by  his  demise,  and  the  va- 
cancy left  since  October,  1880,  was  filled  by  the  calling  of 
George  Teasdale  and  Heber  J.  Grant  to  the  Apostleship. 
These  brethren  were  called  by  direct  revelation,  through 
Pres.  John  Taylor,  and  were  ordained  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Oct. 

16,  1882. 

Charles  C.  Rich  died  at  Paris,  Bear  Lake  Co.,  Idaho.  Nov. 

17,  1883,  and  the  vacancy  caused  thereby,  in  the  Council,  was 
filled  by  the  ordination  of  John  W.  Taylor  to  the  Apostleship 
Oct.  16,  1883. 

After  the  death  of  Pres.  John  Taylor,  July  25,  1887.  the 
Twelve  Apostles  acted  as  presiding  Council  of  the  Church 
tor  about  one  year  and  nine  months,  during  which  time 
Geo.  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F.  Smith  occupied  their  former 
positions  as  members  of  the  Council  of  Twelve  Apostles. 

At  the  general  conference,  held  in  April,  1889,  the  First 
Presidency  was  reorganized,  with  Wil£ord  Woodruff  as 
President.  The  vacancy  in  the  Council  of  the  Apostles  caused 
thereby,  as  well  as  that  occasioned  by  the  excommunication 
of  Albert  Carrington,  in  November,  1885,  and  a  third  vacancy 
caused  by  the  demise  of  Erastus  Snow.  May  27,  1888,  were 
filled  at  the  general  conference,  held  in  October,  1889,  by  the 
calling  of  Marriner  W.  Merrill,  Anthon  H.  Lund  and  Abra- 
ham H.  Cannon  to  the  Apostleship. 

Abraham  H.  Cannon  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  July  19,  1896, 
and  Moses  Thatcher  was  dropped  from  his  position  as  one  of 
the  Twelve  Apostles,  Nov.  19,  1896.  The  two  vacancies  thus 
occasioned  were  filled  at  the  general  conference  held  in  Salt 
Lake  City,  in  October,  1897,  when  Matthias  F.  Cowley  and 
Abraham  Owen  Woodruff  were  sustained  as  members  of  the 
Council  of  Twelve  Apostles. 

After  the  death  of  Pres.  Wilford  Woodruff,  Sept.  2,  1898, 
the  Twelve  Apostles  once  more  became  the  presiding  Coun- 
cil of  the  Church,  and  Geo.  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F.  Smith 
were  returned  to  their  former  positions  among-  the  Twelve 
Apostles.  But  the  Apostles  only  retained  the  presidency  a 
few  days.  Sept.  13,  1898,  the  First  Presidency  was  organ- 
ized the  fifth  time  since  the  organization  of  the  Church,  Lo- 
renzo Snow,  Geo.  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F.  Smith  being  the 
three  Apostles  chosen  to  form  the  new  Presidency.  This 
caused  a  vacancy  in  the  Council  of  the  Apostles,  which  was 
filled  at  the  general  conference,  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Oct. 
9,  1898,  when  Rudger  Clawson  was  sustained  as  one  of  the

Which  had  occurred  on  the  17th  of  the  same  month. 

Rudger  Clawson  became  second  Counselor  to  President 
Lorenzo  Snow  Oct.  7.  1901;  but  the  death  of  the  President 
three  days  later  released  him  from  the  First  Presidency,  and

Marriner  W.  Merrill  died  at  Richmond,  Utah,  Feb.  6.  1906, 
and  on  April  8,  1906,  George  F.  Richards,  Orson  F.  Whitney, 
and  David  O.  McKay  were  sustained  as  members  of  the

the  death  of.  Apostle  Merrill  and  by  the  removal  of  John  W. 
Taylor  and  Matthias  F.  Cowley  from  the  quorum.

PRESIDING    PATRIARCHS 

Joseph  Smith,  Sr.,  father  of  the  Prophet  Joseph  Smith,  was 
the  first  Patriarch  in  the  Church.  He  was  ordained  to  that 
high  and  holy  calling,  Dec.  18,  1833,  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  under 
the  hands  of  the  Prophet  Joseph,  Oliver  Cowdery,  Sidney 
Rigdon  and  Frederick  G.  Williams.  Father  Smith  continued 
as  Patriarch  until  his  death,  which  occurred  at  Nauvoo,  111., 
Sept.  14,  1840.  In  an  important  revelation,  given  through  the 
Prophet  Joseph,  Jan.  19,  1841,  Hyrum  Smith,  Father  Smith's 
eldest  living  son,  who  then  acted  as  second  Counselor  in  the 
First  Presidency,  was  called  to  succeed  his  father  as  Pa- 
triarch. 

"And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  you;  Let  my  servant  William  (Law) 
be  appointed,  ordained,  and  anointed,  as  a  counselor  unto  my  servant 
Joseph,  in  the  room  of  my  servant  Hyrum.  that  my  servant  Hyrum 
may  take  the  office  of  Priesthood  and  Patriarch,  which  was  ap- 
pointed unto  him  by  his  father  by  blessing  and  also  by  right. — Doc. 
and  Cov.  124:91. 

Hyrum  Smith  "received"  the  office,  Jan.  24,  1841,  and  kept 
it  until  his  martyrdom  in  Carthage  Jail,  111.,  June  27,  1844. 
His  brother  William  Smith,  who  was  also  a  member  of  the 
11 


Council  of  Twelve  Apostles,  succeeded  him  by  virtue  of  his 
birthright,  or  age,  but  he  apostatized.  At  the  general  con- 
ference, held  in  October,  1845,  he  was  rejected  as  an  Apostle 
and  as  a  Patriarch.  He  was  finally  excommunicated  from 
the  Church,  Oct.  12,  1845. 

After  the  rejection  of  William  Smith,  the  Patriarchal 
office,  according  to  the  hereditary  order,  belonged  to  Asahel 
Smith  (a  brother  of  Joseph  Smith,  Sr.),  who  had  been  or- 
dained a  Patriarch  at  Nauvoo  in  1844;  but  his  health  being 
poor,  he  is  not  known  to  have  magnified  his  office  as  a 
Patriarch.  Soon  afterwards  (July  20,  1848;  he  died  at  lowa- 
ville,  Wapello  Co.,  Iowa. 

John  Smith,  another  brother  of  the  late  Joseph  Smith,  Sr., 
who  had  previously  been  ordained  a  Patriarch  at  Nauvoo, 
was  ordained  presiding  Patriarch  in  the  Church,  Jan.  1, 
1849,  at  Great  Salt  Lake  City,  under  the  hands  of  Brigham 
Young  and  Heber  C.  Kimball.  He  had  been  sustained  as  a 
"Patriarch  in  the  Church"  as  early  as  the  general  confer- 
ence, held  at  Winter  Quarters,  April  6,  1847. 

Uncle  John  Smith,  as  he  was  familiarly  called,  died  May 
23,  1854,  in  Great  Salt  Lake  City.  John  Smith,  eldest  son  of 
the  martyred  Hyrum  Smith,  to  whom  the  Patriarchal  Priest- 
hood descended  direct  from  his  father,  was  chosen  as  his 
successor.  At  the  time  of  his  father's  death  he  was  too 
young  to  receive  the  office.  He  was  ordained  presiding  Pa- 
triarch, Feb.  18,  1855,  in  Great  Salt  Lake  City,  by  Pres.  Brig- 
ham  Young. 

John  Smith  died  Nov.  6,  1911.  at  Salt  Lake  City;  and  on 
April  6,  1912,  his  son  Hyrum  G.  Smith  was  chosen  to  suc- 
ceed him  as  Presiding  Patriarch  of  the  Church. 

FIRST  COUNCIL,   OF   SEVENTIES 

The  organization  of  the  first  quorum  of  Seventy  was  com- 
menced at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  Feb.  28,  1835.  Nearly  all  the  first 
members  consisted  of  men  who  had  distinguished  themselves 
for  their  faithfulness  as  members  of  Zion's  Camp.  When  the 
quorum  was  fully  organized  the  following  were  chosen  to 
act  as  its  seven  presidents:  Hazen  Aldrich,  Joseph  Young, 
Levi  W.  Hancock,  Leonard  Rich,  Zebedee  Coltrin,  Lyman 
Sherman  and  Sylvester  Smith. 

Questions  arose  among  some  of  the  brethren  in  regard  to 
the  corresponding  grades  of  the  Seventies  and  High  Priests, 
and  it  was  ascertained  that  five  or  six  of  the  seven  presi- 
dents had  previously  been  ordained  High  Priests.  The 
Prophet  Joseph  Smith,  in  a  meeting  held  in  the  Kirtland 
Temple,  April  6,  1837.  counseled  these  brethren,  namely, 
Hazen  Aldrich,  Leonard  Rich,  Zebedee  Coltrin,  Lyman"  Sher- 
man and  Sylvester  Smith,  to  join  the  High  Priests'.  . 
quorum,  which  five  of  them  did,  and  the  following  named 
Elders  were  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancies  thus  created  in  the 
First  Council  of  the  Seventies:  John  Gould,  in  place  of 
Hazen  Aldrich;  James  Foster,  in  place  of  Leonard  Rich; 
Daniel  S.  Miles,  in  place  of  Zebedee  Coltrin;  Josiah  Butter- 
field,  in  place  of  Lyman  Sherman;  Salmon  Gee,  in  place  of 
Levi  W.  Hancock,  and  John  Gaylord,  in  place  of  Sylvester 
Smith. 

In  the  summer  of  1837  it  was  ascertained  that  Levi  W. 
Hancock,  who  was  in  Missouri  at  the  time  of  the  April 
meeting,  was  not  a  High  Priest,  and  he  was  therefore  re- 
ceived back  into  his  former  position  as  one  of  the  First  Seven 
Presidents  of  Seventies,  at  an  important  meeting  held  at 
Kirtland.  Ohio,  Sept.  3,  1837.  John  Gould,  one  of  the  newly 
appointed  presidents,  was  asked  by  the  Prophet  Joseph  to 
join  the  High  Priests,  which  he  did.  After  these  changes 
the  First  Council  of  Seventies  stood  as  follows:  Joseph 
Young,  Levi  W.  Hancock,  James  Foster.  Daniel  S.  Miles,  Jo- 
siah Butterfield,  Salmon  Gee,  and  John  Gaylord. 

Jan.  13,  1S38,  John  Gaylord,  together  with  many  others, 
was  excommunicated  from  the  Church  by  the  High  Council 
at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  for  rising  up  in  rebellion  against  the 
Church  authorities.  Elder  Henry  Herriman  was  called  and 
ordained  Feb.  6,  1838,  to  fill  the  vacancy  in  the  First  Council 
of  Seventies. 

In  a  meeting  of  the  Seventies,  held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio, 
March  6,  1838,  the  council  withdrew  their  fellowship  from 
Salmon  Gee  for  neglect  of  duty  and  other  causes.  Elder 
Zera  Pulsipher  was  chosen  and  ordained  to  fill  .the  vacancy 
the  same  day.  The  foregoing  information  about  the  Seven- 
ties is  obtained  from  the  original  record  of  Seventies  kept 
at  Kirtland,  Ohio. 

After  these  two  changes  the  council  stood  unchanged  until 
the  Church  had  removed  to  Nauvoo,  111.  It  appears  that 
James  Foster,  instead  of  gathering  with  the  Saints,  settled 
at  Jacksonville,  Morgan  Co.,  111.,  and  had  no  direct  communi-" 
cation  with  his  brethren.  Prior  to  the  October  conference, 

1844,  he  was  dropped  from  his  position  by  the  council  of  the 
Seventies.     In  the  following  spring   (1845),  Albert  P.   Rock- 
wood  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy  caused  by  the  removal  of 
Foster. 

Josiah  Butterfleld  retained  his  standing  as  one  of  the  seven 
Presidents  until  a  misunderstanding  arose  between  the 
Prophet  Joseph  and  him,  and  he  was  finally  cut  off  from  the 
Church,  Oct.  7,  1844,  at  the  general  conference  held  at  Nau- 
voo, for  neglect  of  duty,  etc.  The  vacancy  was  filled  the 
same  day  by  the  appointment  of  Jedediah  M.  Grant  as  one 
of  the  council  of  the  Seventies,  but  he  was  not  ordained 
until  some  time  afterwards. 

Elder  Daniel  S.  Miles  died  a  faithful  man  in  the  early  part 
of  1845,  in  Hancock  County.  111.,  and  the  vacancy  occasioned 
by  his  death  was  filled  by  Elder  Benjamin  L.  Clapp,  in  April, 

1845.  Elder    Albert    P.    Rockwood,    Benjamin    L.    Clapp    and 
Jedediah  M.  Grant  were  ordained  to  the  positions  to  which 
they  had  been  elected  Dec.  2,  1845. 

After  the  demise  of  Willard  Richards  in  1854,  Elder  Jede- 
diah M.  Grant  was  selected  by  President  Brigham  Young  to 
fill  the  office  of  second  Counselor  in  the  First  Presidency, 
thus  leaving  another  vacancy  in  the  council  of  Seventies. 
Elder  Horace  S.  Eldredge  was  called,  at  the  October  confer- 
ence, 1854,  to  fill  that  vacancy,  and  was  ordained  about  the 
same  time  in  Great  Salt  Lake  City. 


1282 


PIONEERS   AND  PROMINENT  MEN   OF  UTAH 


Elder  Benjamin  L.  Clapp,  after  living  some  years  in  Great 
Salt  Lake  City,  removed  his  family  to  Ephraim,  Sanpete  Co., 
where  he  had  some  difficulty  with  Bishop  Warren  S.  Snow. 
After  investigation  before  the  Council  of  Seventies,  he  was 
dropped  from  his  position  in  the  council,  and  finally  ex- 
communicated from  the  Church  at  the  general  conference, 
held  in  Great  Salt  Lake  City,  April  7,  1859.  Elder  Jacob 
Gates  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy  at  the  April  Conference, 
1860,  but,  being  absent  on  a  mission  to  Europe,  he  was  not 
ordained  until  October,  1862,  some  time  after  his  return 
home. 

Elder  Zera  Pulsipher  transcended  the  bounds  of  the  Priest- 
hood in  the  ordinance  of  sealing,  for  which  he  was  cited  to 
appear  before  the  First  Presidency  of  the  Church,  April  12. 
1862.  It  was  there  voted  that  he  be  rebaptized,  reconfirmed 
and  ordained  to  the  office  of  a  High  Priest,  or  go  into  the 
ranks  of  the  Seventies.  Subsequently  he  was  ordained  a 
Patriarch.  Elder  John  Van  Cott  was  called  to  fill  the  va- 
cancy in  the  council  of  the  Seventies,  at  the  October  con- 
ference, 1862. 

Albert  P.  Rockwood  died  in  Sugar  House  Ward,  Salt  Lake 
Co.,  Nov.  26,  1879,  and  at  the  April  conference,  1880,  Elder 
"Wm.  W.  Taylor  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy  and  soon  after- 
wards ordained  one  of  the  First  Seven  Presidents  of  Sev- 
enties. 

The  vacancies  caused  by  the  death  of  Pres.  Joseph  Young, 
July  16,  1881,  and  of  Levi  W.  Hancock,  June  10,  1882,  were 
filled  by  the  ordination  of  Abraham  H.  Cannon  as  one  of  the 
First  Seven  Presidents,  Oct.  9,  1882,  and  Seymour  B.  Young 
as  another,  Oct.  16,  1882. 

Elder  John  Van  Cott  died  Feb.  18,  1883.  Christian  Daniel 
Fjeldsted  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy.  He  was  ordained 
April  28,  1884,  after  his  return  from  a  mission  to  Scandinavia. 

The  demise  of  Elder  Wm.  W.  Taylor,  Aug.  1,  1884,  caused 
another  vacancy,  which  was  filled  Oct.  7,  1884,  by  the  ordi- 
nation of  John  Morgan  as  one  of  the  First  Seven  Presidents. 

Horace  S.  Eldredge  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Sept.  6,  1888, 
and  the  vacancy  caused  thereby  was  filled  by  the  calling  of 
Brigham  H.  Roberts  to  act  as  one  of  the  council,  at  the  Octo- 
ber conference,  1888. 

Abraham  H.  Cannon  having  been  ordained  an  Apostle  In 
October,  1889,  George  Reynolds  was  sustained  as  one  of  the 
First  Seven  Presidents  of  Seventies,  at  the  April  conference, 
1890. 

Elder  Henry  Herriman  died  at  Huntington,  Emery  Co., 
Utah,  May  17,  1891.  Elder  Jacob  Gates  died  at  Provo,  Utah 
Co.,  April  14,  1892.  The  vacancies  caused  by  the  demise  of 
those  two  veteran  presidents  were  filled  by  the  selection  of 
Jonathan  G.  Kimball  and  Rulon  S.  Wells  as  members  of  the 
First  Council  of  Seventies.  The  former  was  sustained  at  the 
general  conference,  held  in  October,  1892,  and  the  latter  at 
the  general  conference,  held  in  April,  1893. 

Elder  John  Morgan  died  at  Preston,  Idaho,  Aug.  14,  1894. 
At  the  following  October  conference,  Edward  Stevenson  was

Elder  Edward  Stevenson  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Jan.  27, 
1897;  and  at  the  general  conference  of  the  Church,  held  in 
Salt  Lake  City,  in  October,  1897,  Joseph  W.  McMurrin  was

PRESIDING  BISHOPRIC 

Edward  Partridge,  the  first  Bishop  of  the  Church,  was 
called  to  that  position  Feb.  4,  1831,  by  revelation. 

"And  again,  I  have  called  my  servant  Edward  Partridge,  and  give 
a  commandment,  that  he  should  be  appointed  by  the  voice  of  the 
church,  and  ordained  a  bishop  unto  the  church,  to  leave  his  mer- 
chandise and  to  spend  all  his  time  in  the  labors  of  the  church." — 
Doc.  and  Cov.  41:9. 

Later,  when  other  Bishops  were  ordained,  he  became 
known  as  the  first  or  presiding  Bishop.  June  6.  1831,  at 
solemn  meeting,  held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio.  Isaac  Morley  and 
John  Corrill  were  ordained  and  set  apart  as  counselors  to 
Bishop  Partridge. 

In  a  letter  written  by  the  First  Presidency  at  Kirtland, 
Ohio,  to  Wm.  W.  Phelps  and  others,  in  Missouri,  under  date 
of  June  25,  1833,  the  following  occurs:  "Let  Brother  Isaac 
Morley  be  ordained  second  Bishop  in  Zion,  and  let  brother 
John  Corrill  be  ordained  third.  Let  Brother  Edward  Part- 
ridge choose  as  counselors  in  their  place,  Brother  Parley  P 
Pratt  and  Brother  Titus  Billings,  ordaining  Brother  Billings 
to  the  High  Priesthood." 

Owing  to  the  persecutions  which  befell  the  Saints  in  Mis- 
souri, these  appointments  were  not  made;  but  at  a  meeting 
held  at  Far  West,  Mo.,  Aug.  1,  1837,  Titus  Billings  was  elect- 
ed Bishop's  counselor,  in  place  of  John  Corrill;  and  at  a 
conference  held  at  the  same  place,  Nov.  7,  1837,  Edward  Part- 
ridge "was  nominated  to  still  act  as  Bishop";  after  which  he 
nominated  Isaac  Morley  and  Titus  Billings  for  his  counselors, 
and  they  "were  unanimously  chosen." 

These  three  constituted  the  head  Bishopric  of  the  Church 
during  the  lifetime  of  Bishop  Partridge. 

Bishop  Edward  Partridge  filled  his  responsible  position 
faithfully,  in  the  midst  of  the  most  severe  persecutions, 
until  his  death,  which  occurred  at  Nauvoo,  111.,  May  27,  1840. 

In  a  revelation  given  through  Joseph  the  Prophet,  Jan. 
19,  1841,  George  Miller  was  called  to  the-positlon  of  Bishop, 
in  place  of  Edward  Partridge,  deceased. 

'T  therefore  say  unto  you.  I  seal  upon  his  head  the  office  at  a 
ilsnopric.  like  unto  my  servant  Edward  Partridge,  that  he  may  re- 
ceive the  consecrations  of  mine  house,  that  he  may  administer 


blessings  upon  the  heads  of  the  poor  of  my  people,  saith  the  Lord. 
Let  no  man  despise  my  servant  George  Miller,  for  he  shall  honor 
me." — Doc.  and  Cov.  124:21. 

In  the  same  revelation  (Doc.  &  Cov.,  124:141),  the  Lord 
says:  "I  give  unto  you,  Vinson  Knight.  Samuel  H.  Smith  and 
Shadrach  Roundy,  if  he  will  receive  it,  to  preside  over  the 
Bishopric." 

From  the  documents  at  our  command  at  present,  we  are 
unable  to  learn  whether  or  not  the  above  named  brethren 
officiated  in  the  callings  whereunto  they  were  called;  but  at 
the  general  conference,  held  in  October,  1844,  at  Nauvoo, 
111.,  Newel  K.  Whitney  (who  had  been  called  by  revelation 
to  act  as  Bishop  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  Dec.  4,  1831,  was  sus- 
tained as  "first  Bishop,"  and  George  Miller  as  "second 
Bishop"  in  the  Church. 

"And  the  duty  of  the  bishop  shall  be  made  known  by  the  com- 
mandments which  have  been  given,  and  the  voice  of  the  conference. 

"And  now,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  my  servant  Newel  K.  Whitney  is 
the  man  who  shall  be  appointed  and  ordained  unto  this  power.  This 
is  the  will  of  the  Lord  your  God,  your  Redeemer." — Doc.  and  Cov. 
72:7-8. 

From  that  time  till  his  death  Newel  K.  Whitney  was  recog- 
nized, and  after  April,  1847,  sustained  by  the  voice  of  the 
general  conference,  as  presiding  Bishop  of  the  Church.  He 
had  no  regularly  appointed  Counselors;  but  recognized 
Brigham  Young  and  Heber  C.  Kimball  as  his  chief  coun- 
selors and  advisers. 

Bishop  Newel  K.  Whitney  died  in  Great  Salt  Lake  City. 
Sept.  23,  1850.  At  the  general  conference  of  the  Church,  held 
in  April,  1851,  Edward  Hunter,  who  had  been  ordained  a 
Bishop  in  Nauvoo  in  1844,  was  sustained  as  presiding  Bishop. 
It  appears,  however,  that  he  was  not  ordained  and  set  apart 
to  that  position  till  a  year  later.  Like  his  predecessor,  he 
received  immediate  advice  from  Presidents  Brigham  Young 
and  Heber  C.  Kimball,  and  chose  no  other  counselors  until 
October,  1856,  when,  at  the  general  conference,  held  in  Great 
Salt  Lake  City,  Leonard  W.  Hardy  was  sustained  as  first 
and  Jesse  C.  Little  as  second  counselor  to  Bishop  Edward 
Hunter. 

Counselor  Jesse  C.  Little  resigned  his  position  as  coun- 
selor. At  the  general  conference  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  in 
October,  1874,  Robert  T.  Burton  was  sustained  as  second 
counselor  to  Bishop  Hunter.  He  was  ordained  and  set  apart 
to  this  position,  Sept.  2,  1875,  after  his  return  from  a  mission 
to  England. 

Bishop  Edward  Hunter  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Oct.  16,  1883. 
At  the  general  conference,  held  in  April,  1884,  Wm.  B.  Pres- 
ton, who  had  previously  presided  over  the  Cache  Stake  of 
Zion,  was  sustained  as  presiding  Bishop,  with  Leonard  W. 
Hardy  as  his  first  and  Robert  T.  Burton'  as  his  second  coun- 
selor. 

Counselor  Leonard  W.  Hardy  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  July 
31,  1884.  At  the  general  conference,  held  in  October,  1884, 
Robert  T.  Burton  was  sustained  as  first  and  John  Q.  Cannon 
as  second  counselor  to  Bishop  Wm.  B.  Preston. 

Counselor  John  Q.  Cannon,  because  of  transgression,  was 
released  from  his  position.  At  the  general  conference,  held 
at  Provo,  Utah  Co..  in  April,  1886,  John  R.  Winder  was  sus- 
tained as  second  counselor  in  the  Presiding  Bishopric. 

Counselor  John  R.  Winder  was  chosen  first  Counselor  to 
President  Joseph  F.  Smith  at  the  re-organization  of  the  First 
Presidency  of  the  Church,  Oct.  17,  1901;  and  on  the  24th  of 
the  same  month,  Orrin  P.  Miller  was  chosen  to  succeed  him 
as  second  Counselor  to  Bishop  William  B.  Preston. 

Counselor  Robert  T.  Burton  died  at  Salt  Lake  City  Nov.  11, 
1907. 

Bishop  William  B.  Preston  was  honorably  released  from 
his  position  Dec.  6,  1911;  and  on  the  llth  of  the  same  month, 
the  Presiding  Bishopric  was  re-organized  with  Charles  W. 
Nibley  as  Bishop,  and  Orrin  P.  Miller,  first,  and  David  Smith, 
second  Counselors. 

CHURCH  HISTORIANS   AND  RECORDERS. 

The  office  of  Church  Recorder  was  provided  for  by  direct 
revelation,  given  April  6,  1830,  immediately  after  the  organ- 
ization of  the  Church.  In  that  revelation  the  Lord  says, 
"Behold,  there  shall  be  a  record  kept  among  you,"  etc.  (Doc. 
and  Cov.,  21:1).  Oliver  Cowdery,  who  had  acted  as  a  scribe 
for  the  Prophet  Joseph,  while  translating  the  Book  of  Mor- 
mon, received  the  appointment  as  the  first  Church  Recorder. 

March  8,  1831,  John  Whitmer,  one  of  the  Eight  Witnesses 
to  the  Book  of  Mormon,  was  called  by  revelation  to  the  po- 
sition of  Church  Historian.  "Behold,  it  is  expedient  in  me," 
said  the  Lord,  "that  my  servant  (John  Whitmer)  should  write 
and  keep  a  regular  history,"  and  "it  shall  be  appointed  unto 
him  to  keep  the  Church  record  and  history  continually,  for 
Oliver  Cowdery  I  have  appointed  to  another  office."  (Doc.  and 
Cov.,  Sec.  47.)  John  Whitmer  removed  to  Missouri  in  the 
winter  of  1831-32,  and  he  was  consequently  unable  to  attend 
to  his  duties  as  Historian  and  Recorder  at  the  headquarters 
of  the  Church,  which  were  still  at  Kirtland.  Hence,  at  a 
meeting  of  the  Presidency  of  the  Church  and  the  High  Coun- 
cil, held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  Sept.  14.  1835,  Oliver  Cowdery 
was  again  appointed  "Recorder  for  the  Church." 

At  a  conference  of  the  authorities  of  the  Church  and  of 
the  Saints,  held  in  the  Kirtland  Temple,  Sept.  17,  1837,  Geo. 
W.  Robinson  was  elected  General  Church  Recorder,  in  place 
of  Oliver  Cowdery,  who  had  removed  to  Missouri. 

At  a  general  conference,  held  at  Far  West,  Mo.,  April  6, 
1838,  John  Corrill  and  Elias  Higbee  were  appointed  Church 
Historians,  "to  write  and  keep  the  Church  history";  and  Geo. 
W.  Robinson  was  sustained  as  General  Church  Recorder  and 
clerk  to  the  First  Presidency. 

John  Corrill  apostatized  during  the  Missouri  persecutions, 
and  was  excommunicated  from  the  Church,  at  a  conference, 
held  at  Quincy,  111.,  March  17,  1839. 

Elias  Higbee  was  selected  to  accompany  the  Prophet  Jo- 
seph to  Washington,  D.  C.,  as  a  delegate  from  the  Church  to 
the  Federal  Government,  and  later  was  chosen  as  a  member 
of  the  committee  appointed  to  superintend  the  building  of  the 
Nauvoo  Temple.  Owing  to  these  additional  responsibilities.

he  was  unable  to  devote  much  of  his  time  to  the  writing  of 
Church  history.  He  finally  died  at  Nauvoo,  June  8,  1843. 

At  the  general  conference  of  the  Church,  held  at  Nauvoo, 
111.,  Oct.  3,  1840,  Robert  B.  Thompson  was  appointed  General 
Church  Clerk,  in  place  of  George  W.  Robinson,  who  intended 
to  remove  to  Iowa. 

Elder  Thompson  entered  upon  the  duties  of  his  office  faith- 
fully, but  took  suddenly  sick  and  died  at  Nauvoo,  Aug.  27, 
1841. 

Oct.  2,  1841,  at  a  general  conference,  held  in  the  Grove  at 
Nauvoo,  111.,  James  Sloan  was  elected  General  Church  Clerk, 
in  place  of  Robert  B.  Thompson,  deceased. 

At  a  special  meeting,  held  at  Nauvoo,  July  30,  1843,  Elder 
Willard  Richards  was  appointed  General  Church  Recorder, 
succeeding  James  Sloan,  who  had  left  Nauvoo  on  a  mission 
to  Ireland. 

Elder  Richards  returned  from  his  mission  to  England  in 
August,  1841.  Dec.  13,  1841,  he  was  appointed  by  Joseph 
Smith  to  act  as  Recorder  for  the  Temple,  and  also  as  private 
secretary  and  general  clerk  to  the  Prophet.  He  entered  im- 
mediately upon  the  duties  of  his  office,  and  continued  the 
labors  connected  therewith  till  June  28.  1842,  when  he  com- 
mitted the  business  of  the  office  to  Wm.  Clayton,  and  left 
Nauvoo,  July  1,  1842,  on  a  visit  to  the  New  England  States. 
From  this  visit  he  returned  Oct.  20,  1842.  Dec.  21,  1842,  the 
Prophet  Joseph  again  appointed  him  private  secretary  and 
historian,  while  Wm.  Clayton  was  retained  as  Temple  Re- 
corder and  clerk  of  the  Prophet's  temporal  business. 

At  the  general  conference  of  the  Church,  held  at  Nauvoo, 
in  October,  1845,  President  Brigham  Young  remarked  that 
"about  three  years  ago,  Elder  Willard  Richards  was  ap- 
pointed by  Pres.  Joseph  Smith  as  historian  for  the  Church 
and  General  Church  Recorder."  The  Saints  had  previously 
acted  on  his  appointment  as  recorder,  but  not  as  historian. 
He  therefore  moved  that  "the  Church  receive  the  appointment 
of  Brother  Joseph,  and  that  we  continue  and  sustain  Elder 
Richards  as  Historian  for  the  Church  and  General  Church 
Recorder."  The  motion  was  carried  unanimously.  Since  that 
time  the  double  office  of  Church  Historian  and  General 
Church  Recorder  has  been  vested  in  the  same  person. 

Willard  Richards  filled  the  office  faithfully  until  his  death, 
which  occurred  in  Great  Salt  Lake  City,  March  11,  1854.  At 
the  general  conference,  held  in  Great  Salt  Lake  City  in  April, 
1854,  Geo.  A.  Smith  was  chosen  and  sustained  as  Church  His- 
torian and  General  Church  Recorder. 

As  the  Church  grew  and  increased  in  numerical  strength 
and  importance,  the  labors  of  the  Church  Historian  increased 
proportionately,  and  it  became  necessary  to  appoint  assist- 
ants to  the  Church  Historian.  Accordingly,  Apostle  Wilford 
Woodruff  was  sustained  as  assistant  Church  Historian,  at 
the  general  conference,  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  in  October, 
1856.  Elder  Woodruff  was  the  first  Elder  sustained  in  that 
capacity  by  a  general  conference  of  the  Church. 

Apostle  Geo.  A.  Smith,  having  been  chosen  as  First  Coun- 
selor to  Pres.  Brigham  Young,  was  released  from  his  position 
as  Church  Historian.  At  the  general  conference,  held  In 
April,  1871,  Apostle  Albert  Carrington  was  sustained  in  that 
position,  with  Wilford  Woodruff  as  his  assistant. 

Apostle  Orson  Pratt  succeeded  Albert  Carrington  as  Church 
Historian  and  General  Church  Recorder,  being  sustained  as 
such  at  the  general  conference,  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  May 
9,  1874.  With  Wilford  Woodruff  as  his  assistant,  he  filled  the 
position  till  his  death,  which  occurred  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Oct. 
3,  1881. 

At  the  semi-annual  conference,  held  in  October,  1883, 
Apostle  Wilford  Woodruff  was  sustained  as  Church  Historian 
and  General  Church  Recorder,  and  at  the  next  general  con- 
ference, held  in  April,  1884,  Franklin  D.  Richards  was  sus- 
tained as  Assistant  Church  Historian. 

At  the  general  conference,  April  7,  1889,  Wilford  Woodruff 
was  chosen  and  sustained  as  President  of  the  Church,  and 
Franklin  D.  Richards  was  appointed  his  successor  as  Church 
Historian  and  General  Church  Recorder.  At  the  next  gen- 
eral conference,  held  in  October,  1889,  Elder  John  Jaques  was 
sustained  as  assistant  Church  Historian.  Elder  Charles  W. 
Penrose  was  sustained  in  a  similar  capacity  at  the  general 
conference,  held  In  April,  1896;  and  Elder  Andrew  Jenson  at 
the  general  conference  held  in  April,  1898. 

Franklin  D.  Richards  died  at  Ogden,  Utah,  Dec.  9,  1899; 
and  on  July  26,  1900,  Apostle  Anthon  H.  Lund  was  chosen  to 
succeed  him  as  General  Church  Historian. 

THE  HOLY  PRIESTHOOD 

The  Church,  which  was  established  on  the  earth  by  Jesus 
Christ  and  his  Apostles  anciently,  ceased  in  course  of  time  to 
exist,  through  the  martyrdom  of  many  of  its  chief  represen- 
tatives and  the  final  "falling  away"  of  the  remnant  of  its 
members,  as  predicted  by  the  Apostles  Paul  (2  Thess.  2:3), 
and  Peter  (2  Pet.  2:1),  and  others. 

In  the  present  century  the  gospel  of  Christ,  with  its  an- 
cient powers  and  Priesthood,  has  been  restored  to  earth 
anew,  through  the  administration  of  heavenly  messengers. 
Early  in  the  spring  of  1820,  God  the  Father  and  his  Son 
Jesus  Christ  appeared  to  Joseph  Smith  and  revealed  the  true 
spiritual  condition  of  the  world.  About  three  years  later  the 
angel  Moroni  appeared  to  him  and  subsequently  visited  him 
periodically  for  several  years,  imparting  important  instruc- 
tions. On  Sept.  22,  1827,  he  gave  into  the  hands  of  Joseph 
Smith  the  plates  on  which  was  inscribed  the  history  of  the 
early  inhabitations  of  America. 

While  Joseph  Smith  and  Oliver  Cowdery  were  engaged  in 
translating  the  Book  of  Mormon,  from  the  plates,  at  Har- 
mony, Susquehanna  Co.,  Pa.,  they  went  into  the  woods  to 
enquire  of  the  Lord  respecting  baptism  for  the  remission  of 
sins.  While  thus  employed,  on  the  15th  of  May,  1829,  a  mes- 
senger from  heaven  descended  in  a  cloud  of  light.  Having 
laid  his  hands  upon  them,  he  ordained  them,  saying:  "Upon 
you,  my  fellow  servants,  in  the  name  of  Messiah,  I  confer 
the  Priesthood  of  Aaron,  which  holds  the  keys  of  the  minis- 
tering of  angels,  and  of  the  gospel  of  repentance  and  of  bap- 
tism by  Immersion  for  the  remission  of  sins;  and  this  shall 


never  be  taken  again  from  the  earth,  until  the  sons  of  Lev! 
do  offer  again  an  offering  unto  the  Lord  in  righteousness," 
(Doc.  and  Cov.,  13.) 

The  heavenly  messenger  told  Joseph  Smith  and  Oliver 
Cowdery  that  the  "Aaronic  Priesthood  had  not  the  power  of 
laying  on  of  hands  for  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost,"  but  that 
this  should  be  conferred  on  them  later.  He  then  commanded 
them  "to  go  and  be  baptized,"  and  directed  that  Joseph  Smith 
should  baptize  Oliver  Cowdery,  after  which  he  should  bap- 
tize Joseph. 

The  messenger  told  them  "that  his  name  was  John,  the 
same  that  is  called  John  the  Baptist  in  the  New  Testament, 
and  that  he  acted  under  the  direction  of  Peter,  James  and 
John,  who  held  the  keys  of  the  Priesthood  of  Melchisedek," 
which  Priesthood  he  said  should  in  due  time  be  conferred  on 
them  (Joseph  and  Oliver). 

In  accordance  with  the  commandment  aforesaid,  Joseph 
Smith  baptized  Oliver  Cowdery,  who  then  baptized  Joseph. 
Joseph  Smith  then  laid  his  hands  upon  the  head  of  Oliver 
Cowdery  and  ordained  him  to  the  Aaronic  Priesthood.  Finally 
Oliver  laid  his  hands  on  Joseph  and  ordained  him  to  the  same 
Priesthood. 

Soon  after  these  important  events,  Joseph  Smith  and  Oliver 
Cowdery  "became  very  anxious"  to  receive  the  Melchisedek 
Priesthood,  which  John  the  Baptist  had  promised  them,  if 
they  continued  faithful.  They  had  for  some  time  made  this 
matter  a  subject  of  humble  prayer,  and  at  length  they  met 
"in  the  chamber  of  Mr.  Whitmer's  house,"  at  Fayette,  Sen- 
eca Co.,  N.  Y.,  one  day  in  June.  1829.  They  engaged  in  sol- 
emn and  fervent  prayer,  when  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to 
them  in  the  chamber  commanding  that  Joseph  Smith  "should 
ordain  Oliver  Cowdery  to  be  an  elder  in  the  Church  of  Jesus 
Christ,"  and  that  Oliver  should  ordain  Joseph  to  the  same 
office.  After  that,  they  were  to  ordain  others,  as  it  should 
be  made  known  unto  them  from  time  to  time.  However,  they 
were  commanded  to  defer  these  ordinations  until  "such  times 
as  it  should  be  practicable  to  have  their  brethren,  who  had 
been  and  who  should  be  baptized,  assemble  together." 

This  commandment  was  complied  with  April  6,  1830,  the 
day  on  which  the  Church  was  organized.  On  that  occasion 
Joseph  Smith  laid  his  hands  upon  Oliver  Cowdery  and  or- 
dained him  an  Elder  In  the  Church,  after  which  Oliver  or- 
dained Joseph  to  the  office  of  an  Elder.  Next,  they  ad- 
ministered the  Sacrament,  and  then  laid  their  hands  on  each 
individual  member  of  the  Church  present,  that  they  might 
receive  the  Holy  Ghost  and  be  confirmed  members  of  the 
Church. 

The  exact  date  of  the  ordination  of  Joseph  Smith  and 
Oliver  Cowdery  to  the  Melchisedek  Priesthood  by  Peter, 
James  and  John  is  not  stated,  but  it  is  generally  believed 
to  have  taken  place  in  June  or  July,  1829.  In  proof  of  the 
ordination  we  have  the  word  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  in  a 
revelation,  given  to  Joseph  Smith  at  Fayette,  N.  Y.,  in  Sep- 
tember, 1830,  as  follows:  "Listen  to  the  voice  of  Jesus 
Christ,  your  Lord,  your  God,  and  your  Redeemer,  whose 
word  is  quick  and  powerful.  «  •  •  The  hour  cometh  that 
I  will  drink  of  the  fruit  of  the  vine  with  you  on  the  earth, 
and  with  Moroni,  whom  I  have  sent  unto  you  to  reveal  the 
Book  of  Mormon,  containing  the  fullness  of  my  everlasting 
gospel.  •  *  *  And  also  John,  the  son  of  Zacharias,  * 
which  John  I  have  sent  unto  you,  my  servants,  Joseph  Smith, 
Jr.,  and  Oliver  Cowdery,  to  ordain  you  unto  this  first  Priest- 
hood, which  you  have  received,  that  you  might  be  called  and 
ordained  even  as  Aaron.  *  *  «  And  also  with  Peter  and 
James  and  John,  whom  I  have  sent  unto  you,  by  whom  I  have 
ordained  you  and  confirmed  you  to  be  Apostles  and  especial 
witnesses  of  my  name,  and  bear  the  keys  of  your  ministry, 
and  of  the  same  things  which  I  revealed  unto  them."  (Doc. 
and  Cov.,  27:1,  5,  7,  8,  12.) 

In  a  revelation  on  Church  Government,  given  through  Jo- 
seph Smith,  the  Prophet,  in  April,  1830.  at  Fayette.  the  fol- 
lowing passage  occurs:  "Commandment  was  given  to  Jo- 
seph Smith,  Jr.,  who  was  called  of  God  and  ordained  an 
Apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the  first  Elder  of  this  Church; 
and  to  Oliver  Cowdery,  who  was  also  called  of  God,  an 
Apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the  second  Elder  of  this  Church, 
and  ordained  under  his  (Joseph's)  hand."  (Doc.  and  Cov., 
20:2,  3.) 

In  the  light  of  the  foregoing  i,t  is  plain  that  none  among 
the  children  of  men  at  the  present  time  possess  the  holy 
Priesthood,  with  divine  authority  to  administer  in  the  ordi- 
nances of  the  gospel,  except  those  who  have  received  their 
ordinations  through  the  laying  on  of  hands  by  men  whose 
commissions  rest  upon  the  divine  calling  of  Joseph  the 
Prophet.  This  being  the  case,  it  is  desirable  that  every 
Apostle,  Prophet,  Patriarch,  High  Priest,  Seventy,  Elder, 
Bishop,  Priest,  Teacher  and  Deacon  In  the  Church  should  be 
able  to  trace  the  Priesthood  they  hold  back  to  the  Prophet 
Joseph. 

For  the  benefit  of  the  brethren  who  are  endeavoring  to> 
make  proper  records  of  these  things,  we  publish  the  sub- 
joined biographical  notes,  which  contain  the  ordinations  of 
nearly  all  the  Elders  who  have  been  sustained  and  who  at 
the  present  time  are  being  sustained  as  the  general  authori- 
ties of  the  Church.

Continuation  of  Church  Chronology  and  History  (1830)  from  page  1277 


Soon  after  the  organization  of  the  Church  the  Prophet's 
parents  (Joseph  Smith,  Sr.,  and  Lucy  Smith),  Martin  Harris 
and  A.  Rockwell  were  baptized. 

Some  persons  who  had  been  baptized  In  the  sectarian  de- 
nominations desired  to  Join  the  Church  without  further 
baptism,  but  the  Lord,  by  revelation  through  the  Prophet 
Joseph,  Instructed  them  to  enter  in  at  the  gate,  as  He  had 
commanded,  and  not  seek  to  counsel  God. 

.Revelation  to  the  Church  of  Christ,  which  was  established  In  these 
last  days.  In  the  year  of  our  Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred 
and  thirty,  given  through  Joseph,  the  Beer,  hi  Manchester.  New 
York,  April,  1830,  in  consequence  of  some  desiring  to  unite  with 
the  Church  without  rebaptism,  who  had  previously  been 
baptized. 

Behold,  I  say  unto  you.  that  all  old  covenants  have  I  caused  to 
be  done  away  In  this  thing,  and  this  Is  a  new  and  an  everlasting 
covenant,  even  that  which  was  from  the  beginning. 

Wherefore,  although  a  man  should  be  baptized  an  hundred  times. 
it  availeth  him  nothing,  for  you  cannot  enter  in  at  the  straight  gate 
by  the  law  of  Moses,  neither  by  your  dead  works; 

For  It  is  because  of  your  dead  works,  that  I  have  caused  this  last 
covenant  and  this  church  to  be  built  up  unto  me,  even  as  in  days 
of  old.

For  thou  shall  devote  all  thy  service  in  Zion;  and  in  this  thou 
shalt  have  strength.  •  •  *

drink,  when  ye  partake  of  the  sacrament,  if  It  so  be  that  ye  do  It 
•with  an  eye  single  to  my  glory;  remembering  unto  the  Father  my 
body  which  was  laid  down  for  you,  and  my  blood  which  was  shed 
for  the  remission  of  your  sins: 

Wherefore,  a  commandment  I  give  unto  you,  that  you  shall  not 
purchase  wine,  neither  strong  drink  of  your  enemies: 

Wherefore,  you  shall  partake  of  none,  except  it  is  made  new

him  and  thee  alone,  and  tell  him  that  those  things  which  he  hath 
written  from  that  stone,  are  not  of  me,  and  that  Satan  deceiveth 
him; 

For,  behold,  these  things  have  not  been  appointed  unto  him, 
neither  shall  anything  be  appointed  unto  any  of  this  church

unto  him,  that  as  I  live  I  will  that  he  shall  declare  my  gospel  and 
learn  of  me,  and  be  meek  and  lowly  of  heart; 

And  that  which  I  have  appointed  unto  him  is,  that  he  shall  go 
with  my  servants  Oliver  Cowdery  and  Peter  Whitmer,  Jr.,  into  the 
wilderness  among  the  Lamanites; 

And  Ziba  Peterson,  also,  shall  go  with  them,  and  I  myself  will 
go  with  them  and  be  In  their  midst;  and  I  am  their  advocate  with 
the  Father,  and  nothing  shall  prevail. 

And  they  shall  give  heed  to  that  which  Is  written  and  pretend 
to  no  other  revelation,  and  they  shall  pray  always  that  I  may 
unfold  them  to  their  understanding;

will  bless  them.  Amen. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  32.

And  blessed  are  you  because  you  have  believed; 

And  more  blessed  are  you  because  you  are  called  of  me  to  preach 
my  gospel, 

To  lift  up  your  voice  as  with  the  sound  of  a  trump,  both  long 
and  loud,  and  cry  repentance  unto  a  crooked  and  perverse  genera- 
tion, preparing  the  way  of  the  Lord  for  his  second  coming:  •  *  * 

Wherefore  lift  up  your  voice  and  spare  not,  for  the  Lord  God 
hath  spoken;  therefore  prophesy,  and  it  shall  be  given  by  the  power 
of  the  Holy  Ghost;  '  '  — Doc.  and  Cov.  34:1,  4-6,  10.

Behold,  verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  my  servant  Sidney,  I  have  looked 
upon  thee  and  thy  works.  I  have  heard  thy  prayers,  and  prepared 
thee  for  a  greater  work. 

Thou  art  blessed,  for  thou  shalt  do  great  things.  Behold  thou 
•wast  sent  forth,  even  as  John,  to  prepare  the  way  before  me,  and 
before  Elijah  which  should  come,  and  thou  knewest  it  not. 


Thou  didst  baptize  by  water  unto  repentance,  but  they  received 
not  the  Holy  Ghost; 

But  now  1  give  unto  thee  a  commandment,  that  thou  shalt 
baptize  by  water,  and  they  shall  receive  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the 
laying  on  of  the  hands,  even  as  the  apostles  of  old.  *  •  * 

And  a  commandment  I  give  unto  thee,  that  thou  shalt  write  for 
him;  and  the  Scriptures  shall  be  given,  even  as  they  are  In  mine 
own  bosom,  to  the  salvation  of  mine  own  elect; 

And  now  I  say  unto  you,  tarry  with  him,  and  he  shall  Journey 
with  you;  forsake  him  not,  and  surely  these  things  shall  be 
fulfilled. — Doc.  and  Cov.  35:3-6,  20,  22. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  the  Mighty  One  of  Israel,  Behold,  I 
say  unto  you,  my  servant  Edward,  that  you  are  blessed,  and  your 
sins  are  forgiven  you,  and  you  are  oalled  to  preach  my  gospel  as 
with  the  voice  of  a  trump; 

And  I  will  lay  my  hand  upon  you  by  the  hand  of  my  servant 
Sidney  Rigdon.  and  you  shall  receive  my  Spirit,  the  Holy  Ghost, 
even  the  Comforter,  which  shall  teach  you  the  peaceable  things  of 
the  kingdom; 

And  you  shall  declare  it  with  a  loud  voice,  saying,  Hosanna,

should  translate  any  more  until  ye  shall  go  to  the  Ohio,  and  this 
because  of  the  enemy  and  for  your  sakes. 

And  again,  I  say  unto  you,  that  ye  shall  not  go,  until  ye  have 
preached  my  gospel  in  those  parts,  and  have  strengthened  up  the 
church  whithersoever  it  is  found,  and  more  especially  in  Colesville; 
for,  behold  they  pray  unto  me  in  much  faith. 

And  again,  a  commandment  I  give  unto  the  church,  that  it  Is 
expedient  In  me  that  they  should  assemble  together  at  the  Ohio, 
against  the  time  that  my  servant  Oliver  Cowdery  shall  return 
unto  them. 

Behold,  here  is  wisdom,  and  let  every  man  choose  for  himself, 
until  I  come.  Even  so.  Amen. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  37.

a  land  of  promise,  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  upon  which 
there  shall  be  no  curse  when  the  Lord  cometh: 

And  I  will  give  it  unto  you  for  the  land  of  your  inheritance,  if 
you  seek  it  with  all  your  hearts: 

And  this  shall  be  my  covenant  with  you,  ye  shall  have  It  for 
the  land  of  your  inheritance,  and  for  the  inheritance  of  your 
children  forever,  while  the  earth  shall  stand,  and  ye  shall  possess  it

gospel.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  39.)

church,  and  ordained  a  bishop  unto  the  church,  to  leave  his  mer- 
chandise and  to  spend  all  his  time  in  the  labors  of  the  church:

February  9th.  1831. 

Hearken,  O  ye  elders  of  my  church,  who  have  assembled  your- 
selves together  in  my  name,  even  Jesus  Christ  the  Son  of  the 
living  God,  the  Saviour  of  the  world:  inasmuch  as  they  believe  on 
my  name  and  keep  my  commandments. 

Again,  I  say  unto  you,  hearken  and  hear  and  obey  the  law  which 
I  shall  give  unto  you; 

For  verily  I  say,  as  ye  have  assembled  yourselves  together 
according  to  the  commandment  wherewith  I  commanded  you.  and 
are  agreed  as  touching  this  one  thing,  and  have  asked  the  Father 
in  my  name,  even  so  ye  shall  receive. 

Behold,  verily  I  say  unto  you.  I  give  unto  you  this  first  com- 
mandment, that  ye  shall  go  forth  in  my  name,  every  one  of  you, 
excepting  my  servants  Joseph  Smith.  Jr..  and  Sidney  Rigdon. 

And  I  give  unto  them  a  commandment  that  they  shall  go  forth 
for  a  little  season,  and  it  shall  be  given  by  the  power  of  my 
Spirit  when  they  shall  return; 

And  ye  shall  go  forth  in  the  power  of  my  Spirit,  preaching  my 
gospel,  two  by  two.  In  my  name,  lifting  up  your  voices  as  with  the 
voice  of  a  trump,  declaring  my  word  like  unto  angels  of  God; 

And  ye  shall  go  forth  baptizing  with  water,  saying — Repent  ye, 
repent  ye,  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

And  from  this  place  ye  shall  go  forth  into  the  regions  westward; 
and  Inasmuch  as  ye  shall  find  them  that  will  receive  you,  ye  shall 
build  up  my  church  in  every  region. 

Until  the  time  shall  come  when  It  shall  be  revealed  unto  you 
from  on  high,  when  the  city  of  the  New  Jerusalem  shall  be  pre- 
pared, that  ye  may  be  gathered  in  one,  that  ye  may  be  my  people 
and  I  will  be  your  God. 

And  again,  I  say  unto  you.  that  my  servant  Edward  Partridge 
shall  stand  In  the  office  wherewith  I  have  appointed  him.  And  It 


1288 


PIONEERS   AND   PROMINENT  MEN   OF  UTAH 


shall  come  to  pass,  that  if  he  transgress,  another  shall  be  appointed 
In  his  stead.     Even  so.     Amen. 

Again,  I  say  unto  you,  that  it  shall  not  be  given  to  any  one  to 
go  forth  to  preach  my  gospel,  or  to  build  up  my  church,  except  he 
be  ordained  by  some  one  who  has  authority,  and  it  is  known  to 
the  church  that  he  has  authority,  and  has  been  regularly  ordained 
by  the  heads  of  the  church. 

And  again,  the  elders,  priests,  and  teachers  of  this  church  shall 
teach  the  principles  of  my  gospel,  which  are  in  the  Bible  and  the 
Book  of  Mormon,  in  the  which  is  the  fullness  of  the  gospel; 

And  they  shall  observe  the  covenants  and  church  articles  to  do 
them,  and  these  shall  be  their  teachings,  as  they  shall  be  directed 
by  the  Spirit; 

And  the  Spirit  shall  be  given  unto  you  by  the  prayer  of  faith, 
and  if  ye  receive  not  the  Spirit,  ye  shall  not  teach. 

And  all  this  ye  shall  observe  to  do  as  I  have  commanded  con- 
cerning your  teaching,  until  the  fullness  of  my  scriptures  is  given. 

And  as  ye  shall  lift  up  your  voices  by  the  Comforter,  ye  shall 
speak  and  prophesy  as  seemeth  me  good; 

For,  behold,  the  Comforter  knoweth  all  things,  and  beareth 
record  of  the  Father  and  of  the  Son. 

And  now,  behold,  I  speak  unto  the  church.  Thou  shall  not  kill; 
and  he  that  kills  shall  not  have  forgiveness  in  this  world,  nor  In 
the  world  to  come. 

And  again,  I  say,  thou  shalt  not  kill;  but  he  that  killeth  shall 
die. 

Thou  shalt  not  steal;  and  he  that  stealeth  and  will  not  repent 
shall  be  cast  out. 

Thou  shalt  not  lie;  he  that  lleth  and  will  not  repent,  shall  be 
cast  out. 

Thou  shalt  love  thy  wife  with  all  thy  heart,  and  shalt  cleave  unto 
her  and  none  else; 

And  he  that  looketh  upon  a  woman  to  lust  after  her,  shall  deny 
the  faith,  and  shall  not  have  the  Spirit,  and  If  he  repents  not  he 
shall  be  cast  out. 

Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery;  and  he  that  committeth  adultery, 
and  repenteth  not,  shall  be  cast  out; 

But  he  that  has  committed  adultery  and  repents  with  all  his 
heart,  and  forsaketh  it,  and  doeth  it  no  more,  thou  shalt  forgive; 

But  if  he  doeth  it  again,  he  shall  not  be  forgiven,  but  shall  be 
cast  out. 

Thou  shalt  not  speak  evil  of  thy  neighbor,  nor  do  him  any  harm. 

Thou  knowest  my  laws  concerning  these  things  are  given  in  my 
scriptures;  he  that  stnneth  and  repenteth  not.  shall  be  cast  out. 

If  thou  lovest  me,  thou  shalt  serve  me  and  keep  all  my  com- 
mandments. 

And  behold,  thou  wilt  remember  the  poor,  and  consecrate  of  thy 
properties  for  their  support  that  which  thou  hast  to  impart  unto 
them  with  a  covenant  and  a  deed  which  cannot  be  broken; 

And  inasmuch  as  ye  impart  of  your  substance  unto  the  poor, 
ye  will  do  it  unto  me,  and  they  shall  be  laid  before  the  bishop  of 
my  church  and  his  counselors,  two  of  the  elders,  or  High  Priests, 
such  as  he  shall  or  has  appointed  and  set  apart  Tor  that  purpose. 

And  It  shall  come  to  pass,  that  after  they  are  laid  before  the 
bishop  of  my  church,  and  after  that  he  has  received  these  testi- 
monies concerning  the  consecration  of  the  properties  of  my  church, 
that  they  cannot  be  taken  from  the  church  agreeable  to  my  com- 
mandments; every  man  shall  be  made  accountable  unto  me,  re- 
ceived by  consecration,  inasmuch,  as  is  sufficient  for  himself  and 
family. 

And  again,  if  there  shall  be  properties  In  the  hands  of  the 
church,  or  any  individuals  of  it,  more  than  is  necessary  for  their 
support,  after  this  first  consecration,  which  Is  a  residue  to  be  con- 
secrated unto  the  bishop,  it  shall  be  kept  to  administer  to  those 
who  have  not,  from  time  to  time,  that  every  man  who  has  need 
may  be  amply  supplied,  and  receive  according  to  his  wants. 

Therefore,  the  residue  shall  be  kept  in  my  storehouse,  to 
administer  to  the  poor  and  the  needy,  as  shall  be  appointed  by  the 
High  Council  of  the  church,  and  the  bishop  and  his  council. 

And  for  the  purpose  of  purchasing  lands  for  the  public  benefit 
of  the  church,  and  building  houses  of  worship,  and  building  up 
of  the  New  Jerusalem  which  Is  hereafter  to  be  revealed. 

That  my  covenant  people  may  be  gathered  In  one  In  that  day 
when  I  shall  come  to  my  temple.  And  this  I  do  for  the  salvation 
of  my  people. 

And  It  shall  come  to  pass,  that  he  that  sinnelh  and  repenteth 
not,  shall  be  cast  out  of  the  church,  and  shall  not  receive  again 
that  which  he  has  consecrated  unto  the  poor  and  the  needy  of  my 
church;  or  In  other  words,  unto  me; 

For  inasmuch  as  ye  do  it  unto  the  least  of  these,  ye  do  It  unto 
me; 

For  It  shall  come  to  pass,  that  which  I  spake  by  the  mouths  of 
my  prophets,  shall  be  fulfilled;  for  I  will  consecrate  of  the  riches 
of  those  who  embrace  my  gospel  among  the  Gentiles,  unto  the 
poor  of  my  people  who  are  of  the  house  of  Israel. 

And  again,  thou  shalt  not  be  proud  In  thy  heart :  let  all  thy 
garments  be  plain,  and  their  beauty  the  beauty  of  the  work  of 
thine  own  hands; 

And  let  all   things  be  done  In  cleanliness  before  me. 

Thou  shalt  not  be  idle;  for  he  that  is  idle  shall  not  eat  the  bread 
nor  wear  the  garments  of  the  laborer. 

And  whosoever  among  you  are  sick,  and  have  not  faith  to  be 
healed,  but  believe,  shall  be  nourished  with  all  tenderness,  with 
herbs  and  mild  food,  and  that  not  by  the  hand  of  an  enemy. 

And  the  elders  of  the  church,  two  or  more,  shall  be  called,  and 
shall  pray  for  and  lay  their  hands  upon  them  In  my  name;  and  if 
they  die  they  shall  die  unto  me,  and  if  they  live  they  shall  live 
unto  me. 

Thou  shalt  live  together  in  love,  insomuch  that  thou  shalt  weep 
for  the  loss  of  them  that  die,  and  more  especially  for  those  that 
have  not  hope  of  a  glorious  resurrection. 

And  it  shall  come  to  pass  that  those  that  die  In  me,  shall  not 
taste  of  death,  for  It  shall  be  sweet  unto  them; 

And  they  that  die  not  In  me,  woe  unto  them,  for  their  death  Is 
bitter. 

And  again.  It  shall  come  to  pass  that  he  that  hath  faith  In  me 
to  be  healed,  and  Is  not  appointed  unto  death,  shall  be  healed; 

He  who  hath  faith  to  see  shall   see: 

He  who  hath   faith    to  hear  shall   hear; 

The  lame  who  hath  faith   to   leap  shall   leap; 

And  they  who  have  not  faith  to  do  these  things,  but  believe  in 
me,  have  power  to  become  my  sons;  and  Inasmuch  as  they  break 
not  my  laws,  thou  shalt  bear  their  Infirmities. 

Thou   shall   stand    in    the    place   of   thy    stewardship; 

Thou  shalt  not  take  thy  brother's  garment;  thou  shalt  pay  for 
that  which  thou  shalt  receive  of  thy  brother; 

And  If  thou  obtainest  more  than  that  which  would  be  for  thy 
support,  thou  shalt  give  it  Into  my  store-house,  that  all  things 
may  be  done  according  to  that  which  T  have  said. 

Thou  shalt  ask,  and  my  Scriptures  shall  be  given  as  I  have 
appointed,  and  they  shall  be  preserved  in  safety; 

And  H  Is  expedient  that  thou  shouldst  hold  thy  peace  concerning 
them,  and  not  teach  them  until  ye  have  received  them  In  full. 

And   I   give   unto    you   a   commandment   that    then   ye   shall    teach 


them    unto    all    men;    for    they    shall    be    taught    unto    all    nations 
kindreds,   tongues  and  people. 

Thou  shalt  take  the  things  which  thou  hast  received,  which  have 
been  given  unto  thee  in  my  Scriptures  for  a  law,  to  be  my  law 
to  govern  my  church; 

And  he  that  doeth  according  to  these  things  shall  be  saved,  and 
he  that  doeth  them  not  shall  be  damned,  if  he  continues. 

If  thou  shalt  ask,  thou  shalt  receive  revelation  upon  revelation, 
knowledge  upon  knowledge,  that  thou  mayest  know  the  mysteries 
and  peaceable  things — that  which  bringeth  joy,  that  which  bringeth 
life  eternal. 

Thou  shalt  ask.  and  It  shall  be  revealed  unto  you  in  mine  own 
due  time  where  the  New  Jerusalem  shall  be  built. 

And  behold,  it  shall  come  to  pass  that   my  servants  shall   be  sent 

forth   to   the  east  and   to  the   west,    to  the  north   and   to   the  south; 

And  even   now,    let   him   that   goeth   to   the   east,    teach   them   that 

shall   be   converted   to   flee    to   the   west,    and  this   in   consequence   of 

that   which   is  coming  on   the   earth,   and  of  secret    combinations. 

Behold,  thou  shalt  observe  all  these  things,  and  great  shall  be 
thy  reward;  for  unto  you  it  Is  given  to  know  the  mysteries  of  the 
kingdom,  but  unto  the  world  It  is  not  given  to  know  them. 

Ye  shall  observe  the  laws  which  ye  have  received  and  be  faith- 
ful. 

And  ye  shall  hereafter  receive  church  covenants,  such  as  shall 
be  sufficient  to  establish  you,  both  here  and  in  the  New  Jerusalem. 

Therefore,  he  that  lacketh  wisdom,  let  him  ask  of  me.  and  I 
will  give  him  liberally  and  upbraid  him  not. 

Lift  up  your  hearts  and  rejoice,  for  unto  you  the  kingdom,  or 
In  other  words,  the  keys  of  the  church  have  been  given.  Even  so. 
Amen. 

The  priests  and  teachers  shall  have  their  stewardships,  even  as 
the  members; 

And  the  elders,  or  High  Priests  who  are  appointed  to  assist 
the  bishop  as  counselors  In  all  things,  are  to  have  their  families 
supported  out  of  the  property  which  Is  consecrated  to  the  bishop, 
for  the  good  of  the  poor,  and  for  other  purposes,  as  before  men- 
tioned. 

Or  they  are  to  receive  a  just  remuneration  for  all  their  services, 
either  a  stewardship  or  otherwise,  as  may  be  thought  best  or 
decided  by  the  counselors  and  bishop. 

And  the  bishop,  also,  shall  receive  his  support,  or  a  just  remunera- 
tion for  all  his  services  In  the  church. 

Behold,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  whatever  persons  among  you, 
having  put  away  their  companions  for  the  cause  of  fornication,  or 
In  other  words.  If  they  shall  testify  before  you  In  all  lowliness  of 
heart  that  this  is  the  case,  ye  shall  not  cast  them  out  from  among 
you; 

But  if  ye  shall  find  that  any  persons  have  left  their  companions 
for  the  sake  of  adultery,  and  they  themselves  are  the  offenders, 
and  their  companions  are  living,  they  shall  be  cast  out  from  among 
you. 

And  again,  I  say  unto  you,  that  ye  shall  be  watchful  and  careful, 
with  all  inquiry,  that  ye  receive  none  such  among  you  if  they  are 
married; 

And  if  they  are  not  married,  they  shall  repent  of  all  their  sins, 
or  ye  shall  not  receive  them. 

And  again,  every  person  who  belongeth  to  this  church  of  Christ, 
shall  observe  to  keep  all  the  commandments  and  covenants  of  the 
church. 

And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  if  any  persons  among  you  shall 
kill,  they  shall  be  delivered  up  and  dealt  with  according  to  the 
laws  of  the  land;  for  remember  that  he  hath  no  forgiveness,  and 
It  shall  be  proven  according  to  the  laws  of  the  land. 

And  If  any  man  or  woman  shall  commit  adultery,  he  or  sfae  shall 
be  tried  before  two  elders  of  the  church,  or  more,  and  every  word 
shall  be  established  against  him  or  her  by  two  witnesses  of  the 
church,  and  not  of  the  enemy;  but  if  there  are  more  than  two 
witnesses  it  Is  better. 

But  he  or  she  shall  be  condemned  by  the  mouth  of  two  wit- 
nesses, and  the  elders  shall  lay  the  case  before  the  church,  and  the 
church  shall  lift  up  their  hands  against  him  or  her,  that  they  may 
be  dealt  with  according  to  the  law  of  God. 

And   if  it   can  be,   it  is  necessary   that   the  bishop  Is  present  also. 

And   thus  ye   shall   do   In   all    cases   which   shall   come   before   you. 

And  If  a  man  or  woman  shall  rob,  he  or  she  shall  be  delivered 
up  unto  the  law  of  the  land. 

And  if  he  or  she  shall  steal,  he  or  she  shall  be  delivered  up  unto 
the  law  of  the  land. 

And  If  he  or  she  shall  He,  he  or  she  shall  be  delivered  «»  unto 
the  law  of  the  land. 

And  If  he  or  she  do  any  manner  of  Iniquity,  he  or  she  shall  be 
delivered  up  unto  the  law.  even  that  of  God. 

And  If  thy  brother  or  sister  offend  thee,  thou  shalt  take  him  or 
her  between  him  or  her  and  thee  alone;  and  if  he  or  she  confess, 
thou  shalt  be  reconciled. 

And  If  he  or  she  confess  not,  thou  shalt  deliver  him  or  her  up 
unto  the  church,  not  to  the  members,  but  to  the  elders.  And  It 
shall  be  done  In  a  meeting,  and  that  not  before  the  world. 

And  if  thy  brother  or  sister  offend  many,  he.  or  she  shall  be 
chastened  before  many. 

And  if  any  one  offend  openly,  he  or  she  shall  be  rebuked  openly, 
that  he  or  she  may  be  ashamed.  And  if  he  or  she  confess  not, 
he  or  she  shall  be  delivered  up  unto  the  law  of  God. 

If  any  shall  offend  In  secret,  he  or  she  shall  be  rebuked  In  secret, 
that  he  or  she  may  have  opportunity  to  confres  In  secret  to  him 
or  her  whom  he  or  she  has  offended,  and  to  God,  that  the  church 
may  not  speak  reproachfully  of  him  or  her. 

And  thus  shall  ye  conduct  In  all  things. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  42. 

Mon.  14. — Oliver  Cowdery.  Parley  P.  Pratt,  Ziba  Peterson, 
Peter  Whitmer,  Jr.,  and  Frederick  G.  Williams  (who  had 
joined  the  mission  at  Kirtland,  Ohio)  held  a  council  at  Inde- 
pendence, Mo.,  and  decided  that  Parley  P.  Pratt  should  re- 
turn to  the  East  to  report  their  labors  to  the  heads  of  the 
Church. 

A  woman,  who  pretended  to  receive  commandments,  laws 
and  other  "curious  matters,"  visited  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  who 
inquired  of  the  Ix>rd  and  received  a  revelation  In  which 
God  said  that  none  but  Joseph  would  be  appointed  to  re- 
ceive revelations  and  commandments,  as  long  as  he  lived 
and  remained  faithful. 

For  behold,  verily,  verily,  T  say  .unto  you,  that  ye  have  received 
a  commandment  for  a  law  unto  my  church,  through  him  {Joseph 
Smith,  Jr.)  whom  I  have  appointed  unto  you,  to  recelre  com- 
mandments and  revelations  from  my  hand. 

And  this  ye  shall  know  assuredly  that  there  Is  none  other 
appointed  unto  you  to  receive  commandments  and  revelations  until 
he  be  taken,  If  he  abide  in  me. 

But  verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  that  none  else  shall  be 
appointed  unto  this  gift  except  it  be  through  him.  for  (f  It  be 
taken  from  him.  he  shall  not  have  power  except  t»  appoint 
another  In  his  stead; 

And  this  shall  be  a  law  unto  you,   that  ye  receive  not  the  teach-

Ings  of  any  that  shall  come  before  you  as  revelations  or  com- 
mandments; 

And  this  I  give  unto  you  that  you  may  not  be  deceived,  that 
you  may  know  they  are  not  of  me. 

For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he  that  is  ordained  of  me  shall 
come  in  at  the  gate  and  be  ordained  as  I  have  told  you  before,  to 
teach  those  revelations  which  you  have  received,  and  shall  receive 
through  him  whom  I  have  appointed. — Doc.  and  Cov.  43:2-7. 

A  revelation  instructing  the  Elders  who  had  gone  on 
missions  to  assemble  at  Kirtland  in  June  following  was 
given  to  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  and  Sidney  Rigdon,  at  Kirtland. 
(Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  44.) 

March.  Mon.  7. — An  important  revelation  concerning  the 
salvation  of  man  and  the  calamities  of  the  last  days  was 
given  through  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  at  Kirtland.  The  Saints 
were  also  commanded  to  gather  means  wherewith  to  pur- 
chase a  land  of  inheritance  on  which  to  build  a  New  Jerusa- 
lem. (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  45.) 

Wherefore  T.  the  Lord,  have  said,  gather  ye  out  from  the  eastern 
lands,  assemble  ye  yourselves  together  ye  elders  of  my  church; 
go  ye  forth  into  the  western  countries,  call  upon  the  inhabitants  to 
repent,  and  inasmuch  as  they  do  repent,  build  up  churches  unto  me; 

And  with  one  heart  and  with  one  mind,  gather  up  your  riches 
that  ye  may  purchase  an  inheritance  which  shall  hereafter  be 
appointed  unto  you. 

And  It  shall  be  called  the  New  Jerusalem,  a  land  of  peace,  a 
city  of  refuge,  a  place  of  safety  for  the  saints  of  the  most  High 
God;  •  *  «  — Doc.  and  Cov.  45:64-66. 

Tuea.  8. — A  revelation  was  given  through  Joseph  Smith, 
Jr.,  at  Kirtland,  relative  to  the  gifts  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 
John  Whitmer  was  called  by  revelation  to  be  Church  His- 
torian. (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  46.) 

Revelation    to    Joseph    Smith.    Jr.,    and    John    Wbitmer.    given    in 
Kirtland,  Ohio.  March  8th.   1831. 

Behold,  it  is  expedient  in  me  that  my  servant  John  should  write 
and  keep  a  regular  history,  and  assist  you.  my  servant  Joseph,  in 
transcribing  all  things  which  shall  be  given  you,  until  he  is  called 
to  further  duties. 

Again,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he  can  also  lift  up  his  voice 
In  meetings,  whenever  it  shall  be  expedient. 

And  again,  I  say  unto  you,  that  it  shall  be  appointed  unto  him 
to  keep  the  church  record  and  history  continually,  for  Oliver  Cow- 
dery  I  have  appointed  to  another  office. 

Wherefore  it  shall  be  given  him,  inasmuch  as  he  is  faithful,  by 
the  Comforter,  to  write  these  things.  Even  so.  Amen. — Doc.  and 
Cov.  Sec.  47. 

Later  In  Mar'ch,  the  Saints  were  commanded  by  revelation 
to  save  their  money  to  purchase  land  for  an  inheritance; 
and  Sidney  Rigdon,  Parley  P.  Pratt  and  Lemon  Copley  were 
called  by  revelation  to  preach  the  gospel  to  the  Quakers. 
(Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  48  and  49.) 

Revelation     given    through    Joseph,    the    Seer,    at     Kirtland,     Ohio, 
March.   1831. 

It  is  necessary  that  ye  should  remain  for  the  present  time  in 
your  places  of  abode,  as  it  shall  be  suitable  to  your  circumstances; 

And  inasmuch  as  ye  have  lands,  ye  shall  impart  to  the  eastern 
brethren; 

And  inasmuch  as  ye  have  not  lands,  let  them  buy  for  the  present 
time  in  those  regions  round  about  as  seemeth  them  good,  for  it 
must  needs  be  necessary  that  they  have  places  to  live  for  the 
present  time. 

It  must  needs  be  necessary,  that  ye  save  all  the  money  that  ye 
can,  and  that  ye  obtain  all  that  ye  can  in  righteousness,  that  in 
time  ye  may  be  enabled  to  purchase  land  for  an  inheritance,  even 
the  city. 

The  place  Is  not  yet  to  be  revealed,  but  after  your  brethren 
come  from  the  east,  there  are  to  be  certain  men  appointed,  and  to 
them  it  shall  be  given  to  know  the  place,  or  to  them  it  shall  be 
revealed. 

And  they  shall  be  appointed  to  purchase  the  lands,  and  to  make 
a  commencement  to  lay  the  foundation  of  the  city;  and  then  shall 
ye  begin  to  be  gathered  with  your  families,  every  man  according: 
to  his  family,  according  to  his  circumstances,  and  as  is  appointed 
to  him  r>y  the  Presidency  and  the  bishop  of  the  church,  according- 
to  the  laws  and  commandments  which  ye  have  received,  and  which 
ye  shall  hereafter  receive.  Even  so.  Amen. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  48. 

Hearken  unto  my  word,  my  servants  Sidney,  and  Parley,  and 
Lemon,  for  behold,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  T  give  unto  you  a 
commandment  that  you  shall  go  and  preach  my  gospel  which  ye 
have  received,  even  as  ye  have  received  it.  unto  the  Shakers. — 
Doc.  and  Cov.  49:1. 

April. — Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  continued  to  translate  the  Scrip- 
tures. 

May. — As  a  number  of  Elders  did  not  understand  the  dif- 
ferent spirits  -which  manifested  themselves  at  the  time, 
Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  inquired  of  the  Lord  and  received  a  rev- 
elation. (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  50.) 

— The  Saints  from  the  State  of  New  York  and  other  places 
commenced  to  gather  to  Kirtland,  Ohio,  and  vicinity;  and  Ed- 
ward Partridge  was  appointed  by  revelation  through  Joseph 
Smith.  Jr.,  to  locate  them  for  a  short  time  at  Thompson, 
Geauga  Co.,  Ohio,  agreeable  to  the  principles  of  the  United 
Order. 

Revelation   given    through   Joseph,   the   Seer.  In  Thompson,  C.eanga 
County,  Ohio,  May.  1831. 

Hearken  unto  me.  saith  the  Lord  your  God,  and  I  will  speak 
unto  my  servant  Edward  Partridge,  and  give  unto  him  directions, 
for  it  must  needs  be  that  he  receive  directions  how  to  organize  this 
people; 

For  It  must  needs  be  that  they  be  organized  according  to  my 
laws — if  otherwise,  they  will  be  cut  off: 

Wherefore  let  my  servant  Edward  Partridge,  and  those  whom  he 
has  chosen,  in  whom  I  am  well  pleased,  appoint  unto  this  people 
their  portion,  every  man  equal  according  to  their  families,  according 
to  their  circumstances,  and  their'  wants  and  needs. 

And  let  my  servant  Edward  Partridge,  when  he  shall  appoint 
a  man  his  portion,  give  unto  him  a  writing  that  shall  secure  unto 
him  his  portion,  that  he  shall  hold  it,  even  this  right  and  this 
inheritance  In  the  church,  until  he  transgresses  and  is  not  accounted 
worthy  by  the  voice  of  •  the  church,  according  to  the  laws  and 
covenants  of  the  church,  to  belong  to  the  church; 

And  if  he  shall  transgress  and  is  not  accounted  worthy  to  belong 
to  the  church,  he  shall  not  have  power  to  claim  that  portion  which 
he  has  consecrated  unto  the  bishop  for  the  poor  and  needy  of  my 
church:  therefore,  he  shall  not  retain  the  gift,  but  shall  only  have 
claim  on  that  portion  that  is  deeded  unto  him. 

And  thus  all  things  shall  be  made  sure,  according  to  the  laws 
of  the  land. 


And  let  that  which  belongs  to  this  people  be  appointed  unto  this 
people; 

And  the  money  which  is  left  unto  this  people,  let  there  be  an 
agent  appointed  unto  this  people,  to  take  the  money  to  provide 
food  and  raiment,  according  to  the  wants  of  this  people. 

And  let  every  man  deal  honestly,  and  be  alike  among  this  people, 
and  receive  alike,  that  ye  may  be  one,  even  as  I  have  commanded 
you. 

And  let  that  which  helongeth  to  this  people  not  be  taken  and 
given  unto  that  of  another  church: 

Wherefore,  if  another  church  would  receive  money  of  this  church, 
let  them  pay  unto  this  church  again  according  as  they  shall  agree; 

And  this  shall  be  done  through  the  bishop  or  the  agent,  which 
shall  be  appointed  by  the  voice  of  the  church. 

And  again,  let  the  bishop  appoint  a  storehouse  unto  this  church, 
and  let  all  things  both  In  money  and  in  meat,  which  Is  more  than 
is  needful  for  the  want  of  this  people,  be  kept  In  the  hands  of  the 
bishop. 

And  let  him  also  reserve  unto  himself  for  his  own  wants,  and  for 
the  wants  of  his  family,  as  he  shall  be  employed  in  doing  this 
business. 

And  thus  T  grant  unto  this  people  a  privilege  of  organizing 
themselves  according  to  my  laws; 

And  I  consecrate  unto  them  this  land  for  a  little  season,  until 
T,  the  Lord,  shall  provide  for  them  otherwise,  and  command  them 
to  go  hence; 

And  the  hour  and  the  day  is  not  given  unto  them,  wherefore  let 
them  act  upon  this  land  as  for  years,  and  this  shall  turn  unto 
them  for  their  good. 

Behold,  this  shall  be  an  example  unto  my  servant  Edward 
Partridge,  in  other  places,  in  all  churches. — Doc.  and  Cov.  51:1-18.

The  Saints  in  Thompson,  Ohio,  were  commanded  by  rerela- 
tion  to  remove  to  Missouri.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  54.) 

Wherefore,  go  to  now  and  flee  the  land,  lest  your  enemies  come 
upon  you:  and  take  your  .journey,  and  appoint  whom  you  will  to 
be  your  leader,  and  to  pay  monies  for  you. 

And  thus  you  shall  take  your  journey  into  the  regions  westward, 
unto  the  land  of  the  Missouri,  unto  the  borders  of  the  Lamanites. 

And  after  you  have  done  journeying,  behold,  r  say  unto  you,  seek 
ye  a  living  like  unto  men.  until  I  prepare  a  place  for  you. — Doc.

writing  and  printing  for  the  Church,  and  also  accompany 
the  Prophet  Joseph  and  Sidney  Rigdon  to  Missouri. 

And  again,  you  (William  W.  Phelps)  shall  be  ordained  to  assist 
my  servant  Oliver  Cowdery  to  do  the  work  of  printing,  and  of 
selecting,  and  writing  books  for  schools  in  this  church,  that  little 
children  also  may  receive  instruction  before  me  as  is  pleasing  unto 
me. 

And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  you.  for  this  cause  you  shall  take 
your  journey  with  my  servants  Joseph  Smith.  Jr..  and  Sidney 
Rigdon.  that  you  may  be  planted  In  the  land  of  your  inheritance 
to  do  this  work. — Doc.  and  Cov.  55:4-5.

preached  to  a  western  audience,  over  the  boundary  line  at 
the  United  States.  The  following  week  the  Colesville 
branch  arrived.  The  Lord  revealed  the  location  of  the 
New  Jerusalem  and  the  spot  upon  which  the  Temple  was  to 
be  built.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,-  Sec.  57.) 

And  thus  saith  the  Lord  youc  God.  if  you  will  receive  wisdom, 
here  is  wisdom.  Behold,  the  place  which  is  now  called  Indepen- 
dence, is  the  center  place,  and  a  spot  for  the  temple  is  lying  west- 
ward, upon  a  lot  which  Is  not  far  from  the  court  house;  •  •  • 
— Doc.  and  Cov.  57:3. 

August.  Mon.  1. — A  revelation,  directing  the  Saints  how 
to  locate  in  the  land  of  Zion,  was  given  in  Jackson  County. 
(Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  58.) 

Let  no  man  break  the  laws  of  the  land,  for  he  that  keepeth 
the  laws  of  God  hath  no  need  to  break  the  laws  of  the  land: 

Wherefore,    be    subject    to    the    powers    that    be.    until    He    reigns  . 
whose  right   it  Is  to  reign,   and  subdues  all  enemies  under  his  feet. 

Behold,  the  laws  which  ye  have  received  from  my  hand  are 
the  laws  of  the  church,  and  in  this  light  ye  shall  hold  them  forth. 
Behold,  here  is  wisdom.  *  *  * 

And  also,  this  Is  a  law  unto  every  man  that  comfth  unto  this 
land,  to  receive  an  Inheritance;  and  he  shall  do  with  his  monies 
according  as  the  law  directs. 

And  It  Is  wisdom  also,  that  there  should  be  lands  purchased  In 
Independence,  for  the  place  of  the  store-house,  and  also  for  the 
house  of  the  printing.  •  •  * 

And  let  there  he  an  agent  appointed  by  the  voice  of  the  church, 
unto  the  church  in  Ohio,  to  receive  monies  to  purchase  lands  in  Zlon. 

And  I  give  unto  my  servant,  Sidney  Rigdon.  a  commandment  that 
he  shall  write  a  description  of  the  land  of  Zion,  and  a  statement 
of  the  will  of  God,  as  It  shall  be  made  known  by  the  Spirit  unto 
hJm; 

And  an  epistle  and  subscription,  to  be  presented  unto  all  the 
churches  to  obtain  monies,  to  be  put  into  the  hands  of  the  bishop 
to  purchase  lands  for  an  inheritance  for  the  children  of  God.  of 
himself  or  the  agent,  as  seemeth  him  good  or  as  he  shall  direct. 

For,  behold,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  the  Lord  willeth  that  the 
disciples,  and  the  children  of  men  should  open  their  hearts,  even 


1290

to   purchase    this    whole    region    of    country,    as    soon    as    time    will 

^BeViold,  here  Is  wisdom.  Let  them  do  this  lest  they  receive  none 
inheritance  save  it  he  by  the  shedding  of  blood. — Doc.  and  Cov.

son County,  the  first  log  being  laid  in  Kaw  Township,

the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel.  On  that  occasion  the  land

the  gathering  of  the  Saints. 

Wed.  3. — The  spot  for  the  Temple,  a  short  distance  west

the  Saints  in  that  land.  On  the  same  day  Joseph  the 
Prophet  received  a  revelation  about  the  Sabbath.  (Doc. 
and  Cov.,  Sec.  59.) 

But  remember  that  on  this  the  Lord's  day,  thou  shall  offer  thine 
oblations  and  thy  sacraments  unto  the  Most  High,  confessing  thy 
sins  unto  thy  brethren,  and  before  the  Lord. 

And  on  this  day  thou  shall  do  none  other  thing,  only  lei  thy 
food  be  prepared  with  singleness  of  heart  that  thy  fasting  may 
be  perfect,  or.  In  other  words,  that  thy  joy  may  be  full. 

Verily,  this  is  fasting  and  prayer;  or  in  olher  words,  rejoicing 
and  prayer. 

And  Inasmuch  as  ye  do  these  Ihings  wilh  lhanksgiving,  with 
cheerful  hearts  and  countenances;  not  with  much  laughter,  for 
this  is  sin,  but  with  a  glad  heart  and  a  cheerful  countenance 
*  *  •  — Doc.  and  Cov.  59:12-15. 

Mon.  8. — A  revelation,  directing  some  of  the  brethren  to 
return  to  the  East,  was  given  through  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  in 
Jackson  County. 

But  verily.  I  will  speak  unto  you  concerning  your  journey  unto 
the  land  from  whence  you  came.  Let  there  be  a  craft  made,  or 
bought,  as  seemeth  you  good.  It  mattereth  not  unto  me,  and  take 
your  journey  speedily  for  the  place  which  is  called  St.  Louis. 

And  from  thence  let  my  servants  Sidney  Rigdon,  and  Joseph 
Smith,  Jr.,  and  Oliver  Cowdery.  take  their  journey  for  Cincinnati; 

And  in  this  place  let  them  lifl  up  their  voice  and  declare  my 
word  with  loud  voices,  without  wrath  or  doubling,  lifting  up  holy 
hands  upon  them.  For  I  am  able  to  make  you  holy,  and  your 
elns  are  forgiven  you. 

And    let   the    residue    lake    their   journey    from    St.    Louis,    two   by 
two,    and    preach   the  word,   nol   in   hasle,   among   the   congregations 
.  of    the    wicked,    until    they    return    to    the    churches    from    whence 
they  came. 

And  all  Ihis  for  the  good  of  the  churches;  for  this  intent  have 
I  sent  them. 

And  let  my  servant  Edward  Parlridge  imparl  of  Ihe  money  which 
I  have  given  him,  a  porlion  unto  mine  elders  who  are  commanded 
to  return;  •  »  •  — Doc.  and  Cov.  60:5-10.

Fri.  12. — A  revelation  was  given  through  Joseph  Smith,

Jackson  County,  Mo.,  and  the  future  persecutions  of  the 
Church  were  foreshadowed.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  63). 

Verily,  I  say  unto  you,  there  are  those  among  you  who  seek 
signs,  and  there  have  been  such  even  from  the  beginning: 

But.  behold,  faith  cometh  not  by  signs,  but  signs  follow  those 
that  believe.  *  •  * 

Nevertheless.  I  give  commandments,  and  many  have  turned  away 
from  my  commandments  and  have  not  kept  them.  *  *  * 

Nevertheless,  I,  Ihe  Lord,  renderelh  unto  Caesar  Ihe  things  which 
are  Caesar's: 

Wherefore,  I  the  Lord,  willeth  lhal  you  should  purchase  the 
lands  that  you  may  have  advantage  of  the  world,  thai  you  may 
have  claim  on  Ihe  world,  that  they  may  not  be  stirred  up  unto 
anger; 

For  Satan  putteth  It  Into  their  hearts  to  anger  against  you,  and 
to  the  shedding  of  blood; 

Wherefore  the  land  of  Zion  shall  not  be  obtained  but  by  purchase 
or  by  blood,  otherwise  there  is  none  inheritance  for  you. 

And   if   by   purchase,    behold   you    are   blessed: 

And  if  by  blood,  as  you  are  forbidden  to  shed  blood,  lo.  your 
enemies  are  upon  you,  and  ye  shall  be  scourged  from  city  to  city, 
and  from  synagogue  to  synagogue,  and  but  few  shall  stand  to 
receive  an  inheritance. — Doc.  and  Cov.  63:8,  9,  13,  26-31.

the  Biblp. 

Ezra  Booth,  formerly  a  Methodist  minister,  came  out  as 
an  apostate. 

A  conference  was  held  in  Hiram,  at  which  Wm.  W.  Phelps 
•was  instructed  to  purchase  a  press  and  tyne.  at  Cincinnati, 
Ohio,  for  the  purpose  of  establishing  and  publishing  a  monthly 


paper   at   Independence,   Jackson   Co.,   Mo.,   to   be   called   the

them  printed.  The  revelation  known  as  the  Preface  to  the 
Doctrine  and  Covenants  was  given.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  1.) 

Some  of  the  brethren  having  criticised  the  language  used 
in  some  of  the  revelations,  given  through  Joseph  the 
Prophet,  the  Lord  gave  the  wisest  among  the  Elders  per- 
mission to  write  a  revelation  like  the  least  of  those  the 
Prophet  had  received,  on  certain  conditions.  (See  Doc.  and 
Cov.,  Sec.  67.) 

_  Wm.  E.  McLellin,  as  the  "wisest  man  in  his  own  estima- 
tion," failed  in  his  attempt  to  write  a  revelation.  (See 
History  of  Joseph  Smith.) 

Thurs.  3. — The  revelation  called  the  Appendix  was  given 
through  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  133.)

to  Orson  Hyde,  Luke  S.  Johnson,  Lyman  E.  Johnson  and 
Wm.  E.  McLellin,  the  Lord  explained  the  nature  and  author- 
ity of  the  Aaronic  Priesthood,  the  duties  of  parents  towards 
their  children,  etc.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  68.) 

There  remaineth  hereafter,  in  the  due  time  of  the  Lord,  other 
bishops  to  be  sel  aparl  unlo  the  church,  to  minister  even  according 
to  the  first; 

Wherefore  they  shall  be  High  Priests  who  are  worthy,  and  they 
shall  be  appointed  by  the  First  Presidency  of  the  Melchisedek 
Priesthood,  except  they  be  literal  descendants  of  Aaron, 

And  if  they  be  literal  descendants  of  Aaron,  they  have  a  legal 
right  to  the  bishopric,  if  they  are  the  firstborn  among  the  sons  of 
Aaron; 

For  the  firstborn  holds  the  right  of  the  presidency  over  this 
priesthood,  and  the  keys  of  authority  of  the  same. 

No  man  has  a  legal  right  to  this  office  to  hold  the  keys  of  this 
priesthood,  except  he  be  a  literal  descendant  and  the  firstborn  of 
Aaron ; 

But  as  a  High  Priest  of  the  Melchisedek  Priesthood  has  authority 
to  officiate  in  all  the  lesser  offices,  he  may  officiate  in  the  office 
of  bishop  when  no  literal  descendant  of  Aaron  can  be  found, 
provided  he  is  called,  and  set  apart  and  ordained  unto  this  power 
under  the  hands  of  the  First  Presidency  of  the  Melchisedek 
Priesthood. 

And  a  literal  descendant  of  Aaron,  also,  must  be  designated  by 
this  Presidency,  and  found  worthy,  and  anointed,  and  ordained 
under  the  hands  of  this  Presidency,  otherwise  they  are  not  legally 
authorized  to  officiate  in  their  priesthood; 

But  by  virtue  of  the  decree  concerning  their  right  of  the  priesthood 
descending  from  father  to  son,  they  may  claim  their  anointing, 
if  at  any  time  they  can  prove  their  lineage,  or  do  ascertain  it  by 
revelation  from  the  Lord  under  the  hands  of  the  above  named 
Presidency. 

And  again,  no  bishop  or  High  Priest  who  shall  be  set  apart  for 
this  ministry,  shall  be  tried  or  condemned  for  any  crime,  save  it 
be  before  the  First  Presidency  of  the  church; 

And  inasmuch  as  he  is  found  guilty  before  this  Presidency,  by 
testimony  that  cannot  be  impeached,  he  shall  be  condemned; 

And  if  he  repents  he  shall  be  forgiven,  according  to  the  covenants 
and  commandments  of  the  church. 

And  again,  inasmuch  as  parents  have  children  in  Zion,  or  in  any 
of  her  Stakes  which  are  organized,  that  teach  them  not  to  under- 
stand the  doctrine  of  repentance,  faith  in  Christ  the  son  of  the 
living  God,  and  of  baptism  and  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the 
laying  on  of  the  hands  when  eight  years  old,  the  sin  be  upon  the 
heads  of  the  parents; 

For  this  shall  be  a  law  unto  the  Inhabitants  of  Zion.  or.  in  any 
of  her  Stakes  which  are  organized; 

And  their  children  shall  be  baptized  for  the  remission  of  their 
sins  when  eight  years  old.  and  receive  the  laying  on  of  the  hands. 

And  they  shall  also  teach  their  children  to  pray  and  to  walk 
uprightly  before  the  Lord. — Doc.  and  Cov.  68:14-28. 

John  Whitmer  was  called  by  revelation  to  accompany 
Oliver  Cowdery  to  Missouri,  and  to  travel  among  the  dif- 
ferent branches  of  the  Church  in  order  to  obtain  informa- 
tion in  his  capacity  as  Church  Historian. 

Wherefore,  I  the  Lord  will  that  my  servant,  John  Whitmer,  should 
go  with  my  servant  Oliver  Cowdery; 

And  also  that  he  shall  continue  in  writing  and  making  a  history 
of  all  the  Important  things  which  he  shall  observe  and  know 
concerning  my  church: 

And  also  that  he  receive  counsel  and  assistance  from  my  servant 
Oliver  Cowdery  and  others. 

And  also  my  servants  who  are  abroad  In  the  earth,  should  send 
forth  the  accounts  of  their  stewardships  to  the  land  of  Zion; 

For  the  land  of  Zion  shall  be  a  seat  and  a  place  to  receive  and 
do  all  these  things; 

Nevertheless,  let  my  servant,  John  Whitmer.  travel  many  times 
from  place  to  place,  and  from  church  to  church,  that  he  may  the 
m»re  easily  obtain  knowledge; 

Preaching  and  expounding,  writing,  copying,  selecting,  and 
obtaining  all  things  which  shall  be  for  the  good  of  the  church, 
and  for  the  rising  generations,  that  shall  grow  up  on  the  land 
of  Zion.  to  possess  It  from  generation  to  generation,  for  ever  and 
ever.  Amen. — Doc.  and  Cov.  69:2-8. 

Joseph  Smith,  Jr ,  Martin  Harris,  Oliver  Cowdery,  John 
Whitmer,  Sidney  Rigdon  and  Wm.  W.  Phelps  were  appointed 
by  revelation  "to  be  stewards  over  the  revelations  and  com- 
mandments" which  had  been  given. 

Behold,  and  hearken,  O  ye  inhabitants  of  Zion,  and  all  ye  people 
of  my  church,  who  are  far  off,  and  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord 
which  I  give  unto  my  servant  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  and  also  unto 
my  servant  Martin  Harris,  and  also  unto  my  servant  Oliver  Cowdery, 
and  also  unto  my  servant  John  Whitmer,  and  also  unto  my  servant 
Sidney  Rigdon,  and  also  unto  my  servant  William  W.  Phelps,  by 
the  way  of  commandment  unto  them: 

For  I  give  unto  them  a  commandment:  wherefore  hearken  and 
hear,  for  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  them — 

I.     the    Lord,     have    appointed    them,    and    ordained    them    to    be

stewards  over  the  revelations  and  commandments  which  I  have 
given  unto  them,  and  which  I  shall  hereafter  give  unto  them.  — 
»  *  *  —  Doc.  and  Cov.  70:1-3. 

Oliver  Cowdery  and  John  Whitmer  started  for  Missouri 
with  the  revelations,  after  which  Joseph  the  Prophet,  as- 
sisted by  Sidney  Rigdon  as  scribe,  resumed  the  translation 
of  the  Scriptures. 

December.  Thurs.  1.  —  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  and  Sidney  Rig- 
don  were  called  by  revelation  to  go  out  and  preach  the 
gospel. 

Behold,     thus     saith     the    Lord     unto     you    my    servants,     Joseph 

Smith.  Jr.,  and  Sidney  Rigdon,  that  the  time  has  verily  come, 
that  it  is  necessary  and  expedient  in  me  that  you  should  open 
your  mouths  in  proclaiming  my  gospel,  the  things  of  the  kingdom, 
expounding  the  mysteries  thereof  out  of  the  scriptures,  according 
to  that  portion  of  Spirit  and  power  which  shall  be  given  unto  you, 
even  as  I  will. 

Verily.  I  say  unto  you,  proclaim  unto  the  world  in  the  regions 
round  about,  and  in  the  church  also,  for  the  space  of  a  season, 
even  until  it  shall  be  made  known  unto  you.  —  Doc.  and  Cov.  71:1-2. 

Sat.  3.  —  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  and  Sidney  Rigdon  went  to 
Kirtland  in  obedience  to  revelation. 

Sun.  4.  —  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  and  a  number  of  other  Elders 
and  members  of  the  Church  assembled  at  Kirtland  to  learn 
their  duties.  Newel  K.  Whitney  was  called  by  revelation  to 
act  as  Bishop  in  Kirtland,  and  the  duties  of  that  calling 
were  made  known.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  72.) 

And  the  duty  of  the  bishop  shall  be  made  known  by  the  com- 
mandments which  have  been  given,  and  the  voice  of  the  conference. 

And  now,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  my  servant  Newel  K.  Whitney 
is  the  man  who  shall  be  appointed  and  ordained  unto  this  power. 
This  is  the  will  of  the  Lord  your  God,  your  Redeemer.  Even  so. 
Amen. 

The  word  of  the  Lord,  in  addition  to  the  law  which  has  been 
given,  making  known  the  duty  of  the  bishop  which  has  been 
ordained  unto  the  church  in  this  part  of  the  vineyard,  which  is 
verily  this:  — 

To  keep  the  Lord's  storehouse;  to  receive  the  funds  of  the  church 
in  this  part  of  the  vineyard; 

To  take  an  account  of  the  elders  as  before  has  been  commanded; 
and  to  administer  to  their  wants,  who  shall  pay  for  that  which 
they  receive,  inasmuch  as  they  have  wherewith  to  pay; 

That  this  also  may  be  consecrated  to  the  good  of  the  church, 
to  the  poor  and  needy; 

And  he  who  hath  not  wherewith  to  pay.  an  account  shall  be 
taken  and  handed  over  to  the  blshoo  of  Zion,  who  shall  pay  the 
debt  out  of  that  which  the  Lord  shall  put  into  his  hands; 

And  the  labors  of  the  faithful  who  labor  in  spiritual  things,  in 
administering  the  gospel  and  the  things  of  the  kingdom  unto  the 
church,  and  unto  the  world,  shall  answer  ^he  debt  unto  the  bishop 
in  Zion.  *  *  *  —  Doc.  and  Cov.  72:7-14.

January.  —  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  preached  in  Shalersville,  Ra- 
venna and  other  places  in  Portage  County,  Ohio. 

Tues.  10.  —  The  Elders  were  commanded  by  revelation  to 
continue  their  preaching  till  the  next  conference.  (Doc.  and 
Cov.,  Sec.  73.) 

Later  in  the  month,  a  revelation,  explaining  1  Cor.  7:14, 
was  given  to  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  at  Hiram.  (Doc.  and  Cov., 
Sec.  74.) 

Wed.  25.  —  A  conference  was  held  at  Amherst,  Loraine 
Co.,  Ohio,  at  which  a  number  of  Elders  were  called  by  revela- 
tion on  special  missions  and  to  preach  the  gospel  in  dif- 
ferent parts  of  the  country.  (Doc,  and  Cov.,  Sec.  75.)  [In 
this  revelation,  William  E.  McLellin,  Luke  Johnson,  Major  N. 
Ashley  and  Burr  Riggs  were  called  to  preach  in  the  "south 
country";  Orson  Hyde,  Samuel  H.  Smith,  Lyman  Jobnson  and 
Orson  Pratt,  in  the  "eastern  countries";  and  Asa  Dodds  and 
Calves  Wilson,  in  the  "western  countries."  —  Ed.] 

February.  Thurs.  16.  —  The  revelation  known  as  the 
"Vision"  was  given  at  Hiram,  in  which  the  beautiful  doc- 
trine of  the  three  glories  was  explained.  In  this  vision 
Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  and  Sidney  Rigdon  "beheld  the  glory  of 
the  Son  on  the  right  hand  of  the  Father,"  and  "saw  the  holy 
angels  and  they  who  are  sanctified  before  His  throne."  And 
after  the  many  testimonies  which  had  been  given  of  the  Son, 
they,  last  of  all,  gave  this  testimony,  that  he  lived,  for  they 
"saw  him,  even  at  the  right  hand  of  God,"  and  "heard  tbe 
voice  bearing  record  that  he  is  the  Only  Begotten  of  the 
Father." 


We,  Joseph  Smith.  Jr.,  and  Sidney  Rigdon,  being  in  the  Spirit 
on  the  sixteenth  of  February,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord,  one  thousand 
eight  hundred  and  thirty-two, 


, 

By  the  power  of  the  Spirit  our  eyes  were  opened  and  our  under- 
standings were  enlightened,  so  as  to  see  and  understand  the  things 
of  God  — 

Even  those  things  which  were  from  the  beginning  before  the 
world  was,  which  were  ordained  of  the  Father,  through  his  Only 
Begotten  Son,  who  was  in  the  bosom  of  the  Father,  even  from 
the  beginning, 

Of  whom  we  bear  record,  and  the  record  which  we  bear  is  the 
fullness  of  the  gospel  of  Jesus  Christ,  who  is  the  Son,  whom  we 
saw  and  with  whom  we  conversed  in  the  heavenly  vision; 

For  while  we  were  doing  the  work  of  translation,  which  the 
Lord  had  appointed  unto  us,  we  came  to  the  twenty-ninth  verse 
of  the  fifth  chapter  of  John,  which  was  given  unto  us  as  follows. 

Speaking  of  the  resurrection  of  the  dead,  concerning  those  who 
shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  Man,  and  shall  come  forth; 

They  who  have  done  good  in  the  resurrection  of  the  just,  and 
they  who  have  done  evil  in  the  resurrection  of  the  unjust. 

Now  this  caused  us  to  marvel,  for  it  was  given  unto  us  of  the 
Spirit; 

And  while  we  meditated  upon  these  things,  the  Lord  touched  the 
eyes  of  our  understandings  and  they  were  opened,  and  the  glory 
of  the  Lord  shone  round. 

And  we  beheld  the  glory  of  the  Son,  on  the-  right  hand  of  the 
Father,  and  received  of  his  fullness: 

And  saw  the  holy  angels,  and  they  who  are  sanctified  before  his 
throne,  worshiping  God,  and  the  Lamb,  who  worship  him  for  ever 
and  ever. 

And  now.  after  the  many  testimonies  which  have  been  given 
of  him,  this  is  the  testimony  last  of  all,  which  we  give  of  him, 
that  he  lives; 

For  we   saw  him,   even  on  the  right  hand   of  God,   and  we   heard 


the  voice  bearing  record  that  he  Is  the  Only  Begotten  of  the 
Father — 

That  by  him  and  through  him,  and  of  him  the  worlds  are  and 
were  created,  and  the  inhabitants  thereof  are  begotten  sons  and 
daughters  unto  God. 

And  this  we  saw  also,  and  bear  record,  that  an  angel  of  God 
who  was  in  authority  in  the  presence  of  God,  who  rebelled  against 
the  Only  Begotten  Son,  whom  the  Father  loved,  and  who  was  in 
the  bosom  of  the  Father — was  thrust  down  from  the  presence  of 
God  and  the  Son. 

And  was  called  Perdition,  for  the  heavens  wept  over  him — he 
was  Lucifer,  a  son  of  the  morning. 

And  we  beheld,  and  lo,  he  is  fallen!  is  fallen!  even  a  son  of  the 
morning. 

And  while  we  were  yet  in  the  Spirit,  the  Lord  commanded  us 
that  we  should  write  the  vision,  for  we  beheld  Satan,  that  old 
serpent — even  the  devil — who  rebelled  against  God,  and  sought  to 
take  the  kingdom  of  our  God,  and  his  Christ, 

Wherefore  he  maketh  war  with  the  saints  of  God,  and  encom- 
passes them  round  about. 

And  we  saw  a  vision  of  the  sufferings  of  those  with  whom  he 
made  war  and  overcame,  for  thus  came  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
unto  us. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord,  concerning  all  those  who  know  my  power, 
and  have  been  made  partakers  thereof,  and  suffered  themselves, 
through  the  power  of  the  devil,  to  be  overcome,  and  to  deny  the 
truth  and  defy  my  power — 

They  are  they  who  are  the  sons  of  perdition,  of  whom,  I  say  that 
It  had  been  better  for  them  never  to  have  been  born. 

For  they  are  vessels  of  wrath,  doomed  to  suffer  the  wrath  of  God, 
with  the  devil  and  his  angels  in  eternity; 

Concerning  whom  I  have  said  there  is  no  forgiveness  in  this 
world  nor  in  the  world  to  come, 

Having  denied  the  Holy  Spirit  after  having  received  it,  and  having 
denied  the  Only  Begotten  Son  of  the  Father — having  crucified  him 
unto  themselves,  and  put  him  to  an  open  shame. 

These  are  they  who  shall  go  away  into  the  lake  of  fire  and 
brimstone,  with  the  devil  and  his  angels. 

And  the  only  ones  on  whom  the  second  death  shall  have  any 
power; 

Yea,  verily,  the  only  ones  who  shall  not  be  redeemed  in  the  due 
time  of  the  Lord,  after  the  sufferings  of  his  wrath; 

For  all  the  rest  shall  be  brought  forth  by  the  resurrection  of 
the  dead,  through  the  triumph  and  the  glory  of  the  Lamb,  who 
was  slain,  who  was  in  the  bosom  of  the  Father  before  the  worlds 
were  made. 

And  this  is  the  gospel,  the  glad  Udings  which  the  voice  out  of 
the  heavens  bore  record  unto  us. 

That  he  came  into  the  world,  even  Jesus,  to  be  crucified  for  the 
world,  and  to  bear  the  sins  of  the  world,  and  to  sanctify  the  world, 
and  to  cleanse  it  from  all  unrighteousness; 

That  through  him  all  might  be  saved  whom  the  Father  had  put 
into  his  power  and  made  by  him. 

Who  glorifies  the  Father,  and  saves  all  the  works  of  his  hands, 
except  those  sons  of  perdition,  who  deny  the  Son  after  the  Father 
has  revealed  him; 

Wherefore,  he  saves  all  except  them:  they  shall  go  away  into 
everlasting  punishment,  which  is  endless  punishment,  which  is 
eternal  punishment,  to  reign  with  the  devil  and  his  angels  in 
eternity,  where  their  worm  dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched, 
which  is  their  torment; 

And  the  end  thereof,  neither  the  place  thereof,  nor  their  torment 
no  man  knows, 

Neither  was  it  revealed,  neither  is.  neither  will  be  revealed  unto 
man,  except  to  them  who  are  made  partakers  thereof: 

Nevertheless  I,  the  Lord,  show  it  by  vision  unto  many,  but 
straightway  shut  it  up  again; 

Wherefore  the  end,  the  width,  the  height,  the  depth,  and  the 
misery  thereof,  they  understand  not,  neither  any  man  except 
them  who  are  ordained  unto  this  condemnation. 

And  we  heard  the  voice,  saying.  Write  the  vision,  for  lo!  this 
is  the  end  of  the  vision  of  the  sufferings  of  the  ungodly! 

And  again,  we  bear  record,  for  we  saw  and  heard,  and  this  Is 
the  testimony  of  the  gospel  of  Christ,  concerning  them  who  come 
forth  in  the  resurrection  of  the  just; 

They  are  they  who  received  the  testimony  of  Jesus,  and  believed 
on  his  name  and  were  baptized  after  the  manner  of  h.is  burial 
being  buried  in  the  water  in  his  name,  and  this  according  to  the 
commandment  which  he  has  given, 

That  by  keeping  the  commandments  they  might  be  washed  and 
cleansed  from  all  their  sins,  and  receive  the  Holy  Spirit  by  the 
laying  on  of  the  hands  of  him  who  is  ordained  and  sealed  unto  this 
power. 

And  who  overcome  by  faith,  and  are  sealed  by  the  Holy  Spirit 
of  promise,  which  the  Father  sheds  forth  upon  all  those  who  are 
just  and  true. 

They  are  they  who  are  the  church  of  the  first  born. 

They  are  they  Into  whose  hands  the  Father  has  given  all  things— 

They  are  they  who  are  Priests  and  Kings,  who  have  received  of 
his  fullness,  and  of  his  glory. 

And  are  Priests  of  the  Most  High,  after  the  order  of  Melchisedek, 
which  was  after  the  order  of  Enoch,  which  was  after  the  order  of 
the  Only  Begotten  Son; 

Wherefore,  as  it  is  written,  they  are  Gods,  even  the  sons  of  God — 

Wherefore  all  things  are  theirs,  whether  life  or  death,  or  things 
present,  or  things  to  come,  all  are  theirs  and  they  are  Christ's  and 
Christ  Is  God's. 

And   they  shall   overcome  all    things; 

Wherefore  let  no  man  glory  in  man,  but  rather  let  him  glory  in 
God.  who  shall  subdue  all  enemies  under  his  feet — 

These  shall  dwell  in  the  presence  of  God  and  his  Christ  for  ever 
and  ever. 

These  are  they  whom  he  shall  bring  with  him,  when  he  shall 
come  in  the  clouds  of  heaven,  to  reign  on  the  earth  over  his  people. 

These   are  they  who   shall   have   part   in   the   first  resurrection. 

These  are  they  who  shall  come  forth  in  the  resurrection  of  the 
just. 

These  are  they  who  are  come  unto  Mount  Zion.  and  unto  the 
city  of  the  living  God,  the  heavenly  place,  the  holiest  of  all. 

These  are  they  who  have  come  to  an  innumerable  company  of 
angels,  to  the  general  assembly  and  church  of  Enoch,  and  of  the 
firstborn. 

These  are  they  whose  names  are  written  in  heaven,  where  God 
and  Christ  are  the  judge  of  all. 

These  are  they  who  are  just  men  made  perfect  through  Jesus 
the  mediator  of  the  new  covenant,  who  wrought  out  this  perfect 
atonement  through  the  shedding  of  his  own  blood. 

These  are  they  whose  bodies  are  celestial,  whose  glory  Is  that 
of  the  sun,  even  the  glory  of  God.  the  highest  of  all.  whose  glory 
the  sun  of  the  firmament  is  written  of  as  being  typical. 

And  again,  we  saw  the  terrestrial  world,  and  behold  and  lo, 
these  are  they  who  are  of  the  terrestrial,  whose  glory  differs  from 
that  of  the  church  of  the  firstborn,  who  have  received  the  fullnesH 
of  the  Father,  even  as  that  of  the  moon  differs  from  the  sun  in 
the  firmament.

PIONEERS  AND  PROMINENT  MEN  OF  UTAH 


Behold,   these  are  they  who  died  without  law. 

And  also  they  who  are  the  spirits  of  men  kept  in  prison,  whom 
the  Son  visited,  and  preached  the  gospel  unto  them,  that  they 
might  be  judged  according  to  men  in  the  flesh. 

Who  received  not  the  testimony  of  Jesus  in  the  flesh,  but  after- 
wards received  It. 

These  are  they  who  are  honorable  men  of  the  earth,  who  were 
blinded  by  the  craftiness  of  rpen. 

These  are   they   who   receive  of  his   glory,   but  not   of  his  fullness. 

These  are  they  who  receive  of  the  presence  of  the  Son.  but  not 
of  the  fullness  of  the  Father; 

Wherefore  they  are  bodies  terrestrial,  and  not  bodies  celestial, 
and  differ  in  glory  as  the  moon  differs  from  the  sun. 

These  are  they  who  are  not  valiant  in  the  testimony  of  Jesus; 
wherefore  they  obtain  not  the  crown  over  the  kingdom  of  our  God. 

And  now  this  is  the  end  of  the  vision  which  we  saw  of  the 
terrestrial,  that  the  Lord  commanded  us  to  write  while  we  were 
yet  in  the  Spirit. 

And  again,  we  saw  the  glory  of  the  telestial,  which  glory  Is 
that  of  the  lesser,  even  as  the  glory  of  the  stars  differs  from  that 
of  the  glory  of  the  moon  In  the  firmament. 

These  are  they  who  received  not  the  gospel  of  Christ,  neither  the 
testimony  of  Jesus. 

These  are  they  who   deny  not  the   Holy  Spirit. 

These  are  they  who  are  thrust  down  to  hell. 

These  are  they  who  shall  not  be  redeemed  from  the  devil,  until 
the  last  resurrection,  until  the  Lord,  even  Christ  the  Lamb  shall 
have  finished  his  work. 

These  are  they  who  receive  not  of  his  fullness  in  the  eternal 
world,  but  of  the  Holy  Spirit  through  the  ministration  of  the 
terrestrial; 

And  the  terrestrial  through  the  ministration  of  the  celestial; 

And  also  the  telestial  receive  it  of  the  administering  of  angels 
who  are  appointed  to  minister  for  them,  or  who  are  appointed  to 
be  ministering  spirits  for  them,  for  they  shall  be  heirs  of  salvation. 

And  thus  we  saw  in  the  heavenly  vision,  the  glory  of  the  telestial, 
which  surpasses  all  understanding. 

And   no  man    knows  it  except   him   to  whom   God  has  revealed  It. 

And  thus  we  saw  the  glory  of  the  terrestrial,  which  excels  in  all 
things  the  glory  of  the  telestial,  even  in.  glory,  and  In  power,  and 
In  might,  and  in  dominion. 

And  thus  we  saw  the  glory  of  the  celestial,  which  excels  In  all 
things — where  God,  even  the  Father,  reigns  upon  his  throne  for 
erer  and  ever; 

Before  whoee  throne  all  things  bow  in  humble  reverence  and  give 
him  glory  for  ever  and  ever. 

They  who  dwell  in  his  presence  are  the  church  of  the  firstborn, 
and  they  see  as  they  are  seen,  and  know  as  they  are  known,  having 
received  of  his  fullness  and  of  his  grace; 

And  he  makes  them  equal  in  power,  and  In  might,  and  In 
dominion. 

And  the  glory  of  the  celestial  Is  one,  even  as  the  glory  of  the 
sun  is  one. 

And  the  glory  of  the  terrestrial  is  one,  even  as  the  glory  of  the 
moon  is  one. 

And  the  glory  of  the  telestial  Is  one,  even  as  the  glory  of  the 
stars  is  one.  for  as  one  star  differs  from  another  star  in  glory, 
even  so  differs  one  from  another  in  glory  in  the  telestial  world; 

For  these  are  they  who  are  of  Paul,  and  of  Apollos,  and  of 
Cephas. 

These  are  they  who  say  they  are  some  of  one  and  some  of 
another — some  of  Christ  and  some  of  John,  and  some  of  Moses, 
and  some  of  Ellas,  and  some  of  Esaias.  and  some  of  Isaiah,  and 
some  of  Enoch; 

But  received  not  the  gospel,  neither  the  testimony  of  Jesus, 
neither  the  prophets,  neither  the  everlasting  covenant. 

Last  of  all.  thesp  nil  are  they  who  will  not  be  erathered  with  the 
saints,  to  be  caught  up  unto  the  church  of  the  firstborn,  and 
received  Into  the  cloud. 

These  are  they  who  are  liars,  and  sorcerers,  and  adulterers,  and 
whoremongers,  and  whosoever  loves  and  makes  a  He. 

These   are   they   who   suffer   the   wrath   of  God   on   the   earth. 

These  are  they  who   suffer   the   vengeance   of   eternal   fire. 

Th^se  are  they  who  are  cast  down  to  hell  and  suffer  the  wrath 
of  Almighty  God.  until  the  fullness  of  times  when  Christ  shall  have 
subdued  all  enemies  under  his  feet  and  shall  have  perfected  his 
work. 

"When  he  shall  deliver  up  the  kingdom,  and  present  It  unto  the- 
Father  spotless,  saying — I  have  overcome  and  have  trodden  the 
wine-press  alone,  even  the  wine-press  of  the  fierceness  of  the  wrath 
of  Almighty  God. 

Then  shall  he  he  crowned  with  the  crown  of  his  glory,  to  sit 
on  the  throne  of  his  power  to  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

But  behold,  and  lo.  we  saw  the  glory  and  the  inhabitants  of  the 
telestial  world,  that  they  were  as  Innumerable  as  the  stars  In  the 
firmament  of  heaven,  or  as  the  sand  upon  the  sea  shore, 

And  heard  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  saying — these  all  shall  bow 
the  knee,  and  every  tongue  shall  confess  to  him  who  sits  upon  the 
throne  for  ever  and  ever; 

For  they  shall  be  juoVed  according  to  their  works,  and  every 
man  shall  receive  according  to  his  own  works,  his  own  dominion, 
In  the  mansions  which  are  prepared. 

And  they  shall  be  servants  of  the  Most  High,  but  where  God  and 
Christ  dwell  they  cannot  come,  worlds  without  end. 

This  Is  the  end  of  the  vision  which  we  saw.  which  we  were 
commanded  to  write  while  we  were  yet  In  the  Spirit. 

But  great  and  marvelous  are  the  works  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
mysteries  of  his  kingdom  which  he  showed  unto  us.  which  surpasses 
all  understanding  in  glory,  and  In  might,  and  in  dominion. 

Which  he  commanded  us  wp  should  not  write  while  we  were 
yet  In  the  Spirit,  and  are  not  lawful  for  man  to  utter; 

Neither  Is  man  oartable  to  mike  them  known,  for  they  are  onlv 
to  be  Reen  and  understood  by  the  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  wMch 
God  bestows  on  those  who  love  him.  and  purify  themselves  before 
him: 

To  whom  he  grants  this  privilege  of  seeing  and  knowing  for 
themselves; 

That  through  the  power  and  manifestation  of  the  Spirit,  while 
In  tTie  flesh,  they  may  be  able  to  bear  his  presence  In  the  world 
of  plory. 

And  to  God  and  the  Lamb  be  glory,  and  honor,  and  dominion 
for  erer  and  ever.  Amen. — Doc.  and  Cov.  76:11-119.

assembled  in  Kirtland,  and  church;  and  also  the  saints  in  Zlon. 

To  be  sent  greeting — not  by  commandments  or  constraint,  but 
by  revelation  and  the  word  of  wisdom,  showing  forth  the  order 
and  will  of  God  in  the  temporal  salvation  of  all  saints  in  the  last 
days. 

Given  for  a  principle  with  promise,  adapted  to  the  capacity  of 
the  weak  and  the  weakest  of  all  saints,  who  are  or  can  be  called 
saints. 

Behold,  verily,  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  you.  In  consequence  of 
evils  and  designs  which  do  and  will  exist  In  the  hearts  of  conspiring 
men  in  the  last  days,  I  have  warned  you,  and  forewarn  you,  by 
giving  unto  you  this  word  of  wisdom  by  revelation, 

That  inasmuch  as  any  man  drinketh  wine  or  strong  drink  among 
you,  behold  It  is  not  good,  neither  meet  in  the  sight  of  your 
Father,  only  in  assembling  yourselves  together  to  offer  up  your 
sacraments  before  him. 

And,  behold,  this  should  be  wine,  yea,  pure  wine  of  the  grape 
of  the  vine,  of  your  own  make. 

And,  again,  strong  drinks  are  not  for  the  belly,  but  for  the 
washing  of  your  bodies. 

And  again,  tobacco  is  not  for  the  body,  neither  for  the  belly,  and 
is  not  good  for  man,  but  Is  an  herb  for  bruises  and  all  sick  cattle, 
to  be  used  with  judgment  and  skill. 

And  again,  hot  drinks  are  not  for  the  body  or  belly. 

And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  all  wholesome  herbs  God  hath 
ordained  for  the  constitution,  nature,  and  use  of  man. 

Every  herb  in  the  season  thereof,  and  every  fruit  in  the  season 
thereof;  all  these  to  be  used  with  prudence  and  thanksgiving. 

Yea,  flesh  also  of  beasts  and  of  the  fowls  of  the  air,  I.  the  Lord, 
have  ordained  for  the  use  of  man  with  thanksgiving;  nevertheless 
they  are  to  be  used  sparingly; 

And  it  is  pleasing  unto  me  that  they  should  not  be  used  only 
in  times  of  winter,  or  of  cold,  or  famine. 

All  grain  is  ordained  for  the  use  of  man  and  of  beasts,  to '  be 
the  staff  of  life,  not  only  for  man  but  for  the  beasts  of  the  field, 
and  the  fowls  of  heaven,  and  all  wild  animals  that  run  or  creep 
on  the  earth; 

And  these  hath  God  made  for  the  use  of  man  only  in  times  of 
famine  and  excess  of  hunger. 

All  grain  is  good  for  the  food  of  man,  as  also  the  fruit  of  the 
vine,  that  which  yieldeth  fruit,  whether  in  the  ground  or  above 
the  ground. 

Nevertheless,  wheat  for  man,  and  corn  for  the  ox,  and  oats  for 
the  horse,  and  rye  for  the  fowls  and  for  swine,  and  for  all  beasts 
of  the  field,  and  barley  for  all  useful  animals,  and  for  mild  drinks, 
as  also  other  grain. — Doc.  and  Cov.  89:1-17.

a  House  to  the  Lord  at  Kirtland.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  93 
and  94.) 

Man  was  also  In  the  beginning  with  God.  Intelligence,  or  the 
light  of  truth,  was  not  created  or  made,  neither  indeed  can  be. 

All  truth  Is  independent  in  that  sphere  in  which  God  has  placed 
it,  to  act  for  itself,  as  all  intelligence  also,  otherwise  there  Is  no 
existence. 

Behold,  here  is  the  agency  of  man,  and  here  Is  the  condemnation 
of  man,  because  that  which  was  from  the  beginning  Is  plainly 
manifest  unto  them,  and  they  receive  not  the  light. 

And  every  man  whose  spirit  receiveth  not  the  light  is  under 
condemnation. 

For  man  Is  spirit.  The  elements  are  eternal,  and  spirit  and 
element,  Inseparably  connected,  receiveth  a  fullness  of  Joy: 

And  when  separated,    man   cannot   receive   a  fullness  of  joy. 

The  elements  are  the  tabernacle  of  God;  yea.  man  Is  the  taber- 
nacle of  God,  even  temples;  and  whatsoever  temple  Is  defiled,  God 
shall  destroy  that  temple. 

The  Glory  of  God  is  intelligence,  or,  in  other  words,  light  and 
truth; 


Light    and    truth    forsaketh    that    evil    one. 

Every  spirit  of  man  was  innocent  In  the  beginning,  and  Ood 
having  redeemed  man  from  the  fall,  men  became  again  in  their 
Infant  state,  innocent  before  God. — Doc.  and  Cov.  93:29-38. 

And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  my  friends,  a  commandment 
I  give  unto  you.  that  ye  shall  commence  a  work  of  laying  out  and 
preparing  a  beginning  and  foundation  of  the  city  of  the  Stake  of 
Zion,  here  In  the  land  of  Kirtland.  beginning  at  my  house: 

And  behold  it  must  be  done  according  to  the  pattern  which  I 
have  given  unto  you. 

And  let  the  first  lot  on  the  south,  be  consecrated  unto  me  for 
the  building  of  an  house  for  the  Presidency,  for  the  work  of  the 
Presidency,  in  obtaining  revelations:  and  for  the  work  of  the 
ministry  of  the  Presidency,  In  all  things  pertaining  to  the  church 
and  kingdom. 

Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  it  shall  be  built  fifty-five  by  sixty-fiv^ 
feet  in  the  width  thereof  and  in  the  length  thereof,  in  the  inner 
court; 

And  there  shall  be  a  lower  court  and  a  higher  court,  according 
to  the  pattern  which  shall  be  given  unto  you  hereafter; 

And  it  shall  be  dedicated  unto  the  Lord  from  the  foundation 
thereof,  according  to  the  order  of  the  Priesthood,  according  to  the 
pattern  which  shall  be  given  unto  you  hereafter:  *  •  •  Doc.  and

you  should  build  an  house  in  the  which  house  1'  design  to  endow 
those  whom  I  have  chosen  with  power  from  on  high;  •  *  * 

Therefore  let  it  be  built  aftet!  the  manner  which  I  shall  show 
unto  three  of  you,  whom  ye  Puall  appoint  and  ordain  unto  this 
power.

let  it  be  sixty-five  feet  in  length,  in  the  inner  court  thereof:

fasting,  and  your  praying,  and  the  offering  up  your  most  holy 
desires  unto  me,  saith  your  Lord. 

And  let  the  higher  part  of  the  inner  court  be  dedicated  unto  me, 
for  the  school  of  mine  apostles,  saith  Son  Ahman;  or.  in  other

people. 

Verily,  I  say  unto  you,  that  it  Is  my  will  that  an  house  shonM 
be  built  unto  me  in  the  land  of  Zion,  like  unto  the  pattern  which

enemies  and  cultivate  a  spirit  of  charity  toward  all  men. 
Their  rights  of  self-defense  were  also  made  clear. 

And  now,  verily  I  say  unto  you  concerning  the  laws  of  the  land, 
it  is  my  will  that  my  people  should  observe  to  do  all  things  what- 
soever I  command  them; 

And  that  law  of  the  land  which  Is  constitutional,  supporting  that 
principle  of  freedom  in  maintaining  rights  and  privileges,  belongs 
to  all  mankind,  and"  Is  justifiable  before  me: 

Therefore,  f,  the  Lord,  justify  you,  and  your  brethren  of  my 
church,  in  befriending  that  law  which  is  the  constitutional  law  of 
the  land; 

And  as  pertaining  to  law  of  man,  whatsoever  is  more  or  less  tham 
these,  cometh  of  evil.  *  •  * 

Now  I  speak  unto  you  concerning  your  families;  if  men  will 
smite  you,  or  your  families,  once,  and  ye  bear  it  patiently  and 
revile  not  against  them,  neither  seek  revenge,  ye  shall  be  rewarded; 

But  If  ye  bear  it  not  patiently,  it  shall  be  accounted  unto  you 
as  being  meted  out  a  just  measure  unto  you. 

And  again,  if  your  enemy  shall  smite  you  the  second  time,  and 
you  revile  not  against  your  enemy,  and  bear  it  patiently,  your 
reward  shall  be  an  hundred  fold. 

And  again,  if  he  shall  smite  you  the  third  time,  and  ye  bear  it 
patiently,  your  reward  shall  be  doubled  unto  you  four  fold: 

And  these  three  testimonies  shall  stand  against  your  enemy  if  he 
repent  not,  and  shall  not  be  blotted  out. 

And  now  verily  I  say  unto  you.  if  that  enemy  shall  escape  my 
vengeance,  that  he  be  not  brought  into  judgment  before  me.  then 
ye  shall  see  to  it  that  ye  warn  him  in  my  name,  that  he  come  no 
more  upon  you,  neither  upon  your  family,  even  your  children's 
children  unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation: 

And  then  If  he  shall  come  upon  you,  or  your  children,  or  yonr 
children's  children  unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation;  I  hard 
delivered  thine  enemy  into  thine  hands,

And  then  if  thou  wilt  spare  him.  thou  shalt  be  rewarded  for  thy  . 
righteousness:  and  also  thy  children  and  thy  children's  children  unto 
the  third  and  fourth  generation; 

Nevertheless  thine  enemy  is  in  thine  hands,  and  if  thou  reward 
him  according  to  his  works,  thou  art  justified,  if  he  has  sought 
thy  life,  and  thy  life  is  endangered  by  him,  thine  enemy  is  in  thine 
hands  and  thou  art  justified.

Minutes  of  the  Organization  of  the  High  Council  of  the  Church  of 
Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints.     Kirtland.  February  17,  1834. 

This  day  a  general  council  of  twenty-four  High  Priests  assembled 
at  the  house  of  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  by  revelation,  and  proceeded  to- 
organize  the  High  Council  of  the  Church  of  Christ,  which  was  to 
consist  of  twelve  High  Priests,  and  one  or  three  Presidents,  as  the 
case  might  require. 

The  High  Council  was  appointed  by  revelation  for  the  purpose 
of  settling  important  difficulties  which  might  arise  in  the  church, 
which  could  not  be  settled  by  the  church  or  the  bishop's  council 
to  the  satisfaction  of  the  parties. 

Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  Sidney  Rigdon,  and  Frederick  G.  Williams, 
were  acknowledged  Presidents  by  the  voice  of  the  council:  and 
Joseph  Smith,  Sr.,  John  Smith,  Joseph  Coe.  John  Johnson.  Martin 
Harris,  John  S.  Carter.  Jared  Carter.  Oliver  Cowdery.  Samuel  H. 
Smith,  Orson  Hyde,  Sylvester  Smith,  and  Luke  Johnson,  High 
Priests,  were  chosen  to  be  a  standing  Council  for  the  church,  by  the 
unanimous  voice  of  the  Council. 

The  above-named  counselors  were  then  asked  whether  they 
accepted  their  appointments,  and  whether  they  would  act  In  that 
office  according  to  the  law  of  heaven:  to  which  they  all  answered 
that  they  accepted  their  appointments,  and  would  fill  their  omces 
according  to  the  grace  of  God  bestowed  upon  them. 

The  number  composing  the  council,  who  voted  in  the  name  and 
for  the  church,  in  appointing  the  above-named  counselors  were 
forty-three,  as  follows: — Nine  High  Priests,  seventeen  elders,  four 
priests,  and  thirteen  members. 

Voted:  that  the  High  Council  cannot  have  power  to  act  without 
seven  of  the  above-named  counselors,  or  their  regularly-appointed 
successors  are  present. 

These  seven  shall  have  power  to  appoint  other  High  Priests, 
whom  they  may  consider  worthy  and  capable  to  act  in  the  place 
of  absent  counselors. 

Voted:  that  whenever  any  vacancy  shall  occur  by  the  death, 
removal  from  office  for  transgression,  or  removal  from  the  bounds 
of  this  church  government,  of  any  one  of  the  above-named  coun- 
selors, it  shall  be  filled  by  the  nomination  of  the  President  or 
Presidents,  and  sanctioned  by  the  voice  of  a  general  council  of 
High  Priests,  convened  for  that  purpose,  to  act  in  the  name  of 
the  church. 

The  President  of  the  church,  who  is  also  the  President  of  th» 
council,  is  appointed  by  revelation,  and  acknowledged  in  his 
administration,  by  the  voice  of  the  church: 

And  it  is  according  to  the  dignity  of  his  office  that  he  should 
preside  over  the  Council  of  the  church:  and  it  is  his  privilege  to 
be  assisted  by  two  other  Presidents,  appointed  after  the  same 
manner  that  he  himself  was  appointed. 

And  In  case  of  the  absence  of  one  or  both  of  those  who  are 
appointed  to  assist  him,  he  has  power  to  preside  over  the  Council 
without  an  assistant:  and  in  case  that  he  himself  Is  absent,  the 
other  Presidents  have  power  to  preside  in  his  stead,  both,  or  either 
of  them. 

Whenever  an  High  Council  of  the  church  of  Christ  is  regularly 
organized,  according  to  the  foregoing  pattern,  it  shall  be  the  duty 
of  the  twelve  counselors  to  cast  lots  by  numbers,  and  thereby 
ascertain,  who  of  the  twelve  shall  speak  first,  commencing  with 
number  one,  and  so  in  succession  to  number  twelve. 

Whenever  this  Council  convenes  to  act  upon  any  case,  the  twelve 
counselors  shall  consider  whether  it  Is  a  difficult  one  or  not;  if  it 
Is  not,  two  only  of  the  counselors  shall  speak  upon  it,  according 
to  the  form  above  written. 

But  If  it  Is  thought  to  be  difficult,  four  shall  be  appointed:  and 
if  more  difficult,  six;  but  in  no  case  shall  more  than  six  be 
appointed  to  speak. 

The  accused,  in  all  cases,  has  a  right  to  one  half  of  the  Council, 
to  prevent  Insult  or  Injustice; 

And  the  counselors  appointed  to  speak  before  the  Council,  are  to 
present  the  case  after  the  evidence  is  examined,  in  its  true  light 
before  the  Council,  and  every  man  Is  to  speak  according  to  equity 
and  justice. 

Those  counselors  who  draw  even  numbers,  that  Is  2,  4,  6,  8,  10, 
and  12,  are  the  Individuals  who  are  to  stand  up  In  behalf  of  the 
accused,  and  prevent  insult  or  Injustice. 

In  all  cases  the  accuser  and  the  accused  shall  have  a  privilege 
of  speaking  for  themselves  before  the  Council  after  the  evidences 
are  heard,  and  the  counselors  who  are  appointed  to  speak  on  the 
case,  have  finished  their  remarks. 

After  the  evidences  are  heard,  the  counselors,  accuser  and  accused 
have  spoken,  the  President  shall  give  a  decision  according  to  the 
understanding  which  he  shall  have  of  the  case,  and  call  upon  the 
twelve  counselors  to  sanction  the  same  by  their  vote. 

But  should  the  remaining  counselors,  who  have  not  spoken,  or 
any  one  of  them,  after  hearing  the  evidences  and  pleadings  Im- 
partially, discover  an  error  in  the  decision  of  the  President,  they 
can  manifest  it,  and  the  case  shall  have  a  re-hearing; 

And  if.  after  a  careful  re-hearing,  any  additional  light  is  shows 
upon  the  case,  the  decision  shall  be  altered  accordingly; 

But  In  case  no  additional  light  is  given,  the  first  decision  shall 
stand,  the  majority  of  the  Council  having  power  to  determine  the 
same. 

In  cases  of  difficulty,  respecting  doctrine  or  principle.  (If  there  Is 
not  a  sufficiency  written  to  make  the  case  clear  to  the  minds  of  the 
Council,)  the  I'resident  may  Inquire  and  obtain  the  mind  of  the 
Lord  by  revelation. 

The  High  Priests,   when  abroad,  have  power  to  call  and  organizi 
a   council    after    the    manner    of    the    foregoing    to    settle    difficult! 
when  the  parties,  or  either  of  them  shall  request  It: 

And  the  said  council  of  High  Priests  shall  have  power  to  appoint 
one  of  their  own  number,  to  preside  over  such  council  for  the  t 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  Bald  council  to  transmit  Immediately,  a 
copy  of  their  proceedings,  with  a  full  statement  of  the  testimony 
accompanying  their  decision,  to  the  High  Council  of  the  seat  or 
the  First  Presidency  of  the  church.

Should  the  parties,  or  either  of  them  be  dissatisfied  with  the 
decision  of  said  council,  they  may  appeal  to  the  High  Council  of 
the  seat  of  the  First  Presidency  of  the  church,  and  have  a  re- 
hearing, which  case  shall  there  be  conducted,  according  to  the 
former  pattern  written,  as  though  no  such  decision  had  been  made. 

This  council  of  High  Priests  abroad,  is  only  to  be  called  on  the 
most  difficult  cases  of  church  matters;  and  no  common  or  ordinary 
case  is  to  be  sufficient  to  call  such  council. 

The  traveling  or  located  High  Priests  abroad,  have  power  to  say 
whether  it  Is  necessary  to  call  such  a  council  or  not. 

There  is  a  distinction  between  the  High  Council  of  traveling:  High 
Priests  abroad,  and  the  traveling  High  Council  composed  of  the 
Twelve  apostles,  in  their  decisions. 

From  the  decision  of  the  former  there  can  be  an  appeal,  but 
from  the  decision  of  the  latter  there  cannot. 

The  latter  can  only  be  called  in  question  by  the  general  authorities 
of  the  church  in  case  of  transgression. 

Resolved,  that  the  President  or  Presidents  of  the  seat  of  the  First 
Presidency  of  the  church,  shall  have  power  to  determine  whether 
any  such  case,  as  may  be  appealed,  is  justly  entitled  to  a  re-hearing, 
after  examining  the  appeal  and  the  evidences  and  statements 
accompanying  it. 

The  twelve  counselors  then  proceeded  to  cast  lots  or  ballot,  to 
ascertain  who  should  speak  first,  and  the  following  was  the  result, 
namely: — 

1  COVER  COWDERT,  7  JOHN  JOHNSON.

come.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec  105.) 

I  speak  not  concerning  those  who  are  appointed  to  lead  my 
people,  who  are  the  first  elders  of  my  church,  for  they  are  not  all 
under  this  condemnation; 

But  I  speak  concerning  my  churches  abroad — there  are  many 
who  will  say,  Where  is  their  God?  Behold,  he  will  deliver  them 
in  time  of  trouble,  otherwise  we  will  not  go  up  unto  Zion,  and  will 
keep  our  moneys. 

Therefore,  in  consequence  of  the  transgression  of  my  people.  It 
is  expedient  in  me  that  mine  elders  should  wait  for  a  little  season 
for  the  redemption  of  Zion.  *  *  *  — Doc.  and  Cov.  105:7-9.

order  of  the  Priesthood  was  given  to  Joseph  Smith,  Jr.,  at 
Kirtland.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec  107.) 

A  Revelation  through  Joseph,  the  Prophet,  given  at  Kirtland,  Ohio, 
on  Priesthood:  the  fore  part,  or  the  flrst  fifty-eight  verses,  being 
given  March  28th.  1835;  the  other  Items  were  revealed  at  Hunilry 
times. 

There  are.  in  the  church,  two  Priesthoods,  namely,  the  Melchlse- 
dek,  and  Aaronic,  Including  the  Levitical  priesthood. 

Why  the  flrst  Is  called  the  Melchlsedek  Priesthood.  Is  because 
Melchisedek  was  such  a  great  High  Priest. 

Before  his  day  it  was  called  the  Holy  Priesthood  after  the  order 
of  the  Son  of  God: 

But  out  of  respect  or  reverence  to  the  name  of  the  Supreme 
Being,  to  avoid  the  too  frequent  repetition  of  his  name,  they,  the 
church,  in  ancient  days,  called  that  Priesthood  after  Melchisedek, 
or  the  Melchlsedek  Priesthood. 

All  other  authorities  or  offices  In  the  church  are  appendages  to 
this  Priesthood; 

But  there  are  two  divisions  or  grand  heads — one  is  the  Melchlse- 
dek Priesthood,  and  the  other  Is  the  Aaronic,  or  Levitical  priest- 
hood. 

The  office  of  an  elder  comes  under  the  Priesthood  of  Melchisedek. 

The  Melchisedek  Priesthood  holds  the  right  of  Presidency,  and 
has  power  and  authority  over  all  the  offices  in  the  church  In  all 
ages  of  the  world,  to  administer  In  spiritual  things. 

The  Presidency  of  the  High  Priesthood,  after  the  order  of 
Melchisedek,  have  a  right  to  officiate  in  all  the  offices  In  the  church. 

High  Priests  after  the  order  of  the  Melchlsedek  Priesthood,  have 
a  right  to  officiate  in  their  own  standing,  under  the  direction  of  the 
Presidency.  In  administering  spiritual  things;  and  also  In  the  office 
of  an  elder,  priest,  (of  the  Levitical  order,)  teacher,  deacon,  and 
member. 

An  elder  has  a  right  to  officiate  In  his  stead  when  the  High 
Priest  Is  not  present. 

The  High  Priest  and  elder  are  to  administer  In  spiritual  things, 
agreeable  to  the  covenants  and  commandments  of  the  church:  and 
they  have  a  right  to  officiate  in  all  these  offices  of  the  church 
when  there  are  no  higher  authorities  present. 

The  second  priesthood  is  called  the  priesthood  of  Aaron,  because 


1296 


PIONEERS  AND  PROMINENT  MEN  OF  UTAH 


It  was  conferred  upon  Aaron  and  his  seed,  throughout  all  their 
generations. 

Why  it  is  called  the  lesser  priesthood,  is  because  it  is  an  ap- 
pendage to  the  greater  or  the  Melchisedek  Priesthood,  and  has 
power  in  administering  outward  ordinances. 

The  bishopric  is  the  presidency  of  this  priesthood  and  holds  the 
keys  or  authority  of  the  same. 

No  man  has  a  legal  right  to  this  office,  to  hold  the  keys  of  this 
priesthood,  except  he  be  a  literal  descendant  of  Aaron. 

But  as  a  High  Priest  of  the  Melchisedek  Priesthood  has  authority 
to  officiate  in  all  the  lesser  offices,  he  may  officiate  in  the  office  of 
bishop  when  no  literal  descendant  of  Aaron  can  be  found,  provided 
he  is  called  and  set  apart  and  ordained  unto  this  power  by  the 
bands  of  the  Presidency  of  the  Melchisedek  Priesthood. 

The  power  and  authority  of  the  Higher  or  Melchisedek  Priesthood, 
Is  to  hold  the  keys  of  all  the  spiritual  blessings  of  the  church — 

To  have  the  privilege  of  receiving  the  mysteries  of  the  kingdom 
of  heaven — to  have  the  heavens  opened  unto  them — to  commune 
with  the  general  assembly  and  church  of  the 'first  born,  and  to 
enjoy  the  communion  and  presence  of  God  the  Father,  and  Jesus 
the  Mediator  of  the  new  covenant. 

The  power  and  authority  of  the  lesser,  or  Aaronic  priesthood,  is 
to  hold  the  keys  of  the  ministering  of  angels,  and  to  administer  in 
outward  ordinances,  the  letter  of  the  gospel — the  baptism  of 
repentance  for  the  remission  of  sins,  agreeable  to  the  covenants 
and  commandments. 

Of  necessity  there  are  presidents,  or  presiding  offices  growing  out 
of,  or  appointed  of  or  from  among  those  who  are  ordained  to  the 
several  offices  in  these  two  priesthoods. 

Of  the  Melchisedek  Priesthood,  three  Presiding  High  Priests, 
chosen  by  the  body,  appointed  and  ordained  to  that  office,  and 
upheld  by  the  confidence,  faith,  and  prayer  of  the  church,  form 
a  quorum  of  the  Presidency  of  the  church. 

The  Twelve  traveling  counselors  are  called  to  be  the  Twelve 
apostles,  or  special  witnesses  of  the  name  of  Christ  in  all  the 
world:  thus  differing  from  other  officers  in  the  church  in  the  duties 
of  their  calling. 

And  they  form  a  quorum,  equal  in  authority  and  power  to  the 
three  Presidents  previously  mentioned. 

The  seventy  are  also  called  to  preach  the  gospel,  and  to  be 
especial  witnesses  unto  the  Gentiles  and  in  all  the  world.  Thus 
differing  from  other  officers  in  the  church  In  the  duties  of  their 
calling; 

And  they  form  a  quorum  equal  In  authority  to  that  of  the 
Twelve  special  witnesses  or  apostles  just  named. 

And  every  decision  made  by  either  of  these  quorums,  must  be 
by  the  unanimous  voice  of  the  same:  that  is.  every  member  In  each 
quorum  must  be  agreed  to  Its  decisions,  in  order  to  make  their 
decisions  of  the  same  power  or  validity  one  with  the  other. 

(A  majority  may  form  a  quorum,  when  circumstances  render  It 
Impossible  to  be  otherwise.) 

Unless  this  Is  the  case,  their  decisions  are  not  entitled  to  the 
same  blessings  which  the  decisions  of  a  quorum  of  three  Presidents 
were  anciently,  who  were  ordained  after  the  order  of  Melchisedek, 
and  were  righteous  and  holy  men. 

The  decisions  of  these  quorums,  or  either  of  them,  are  to  be  made 
In  all  righteousness,  in  holiness,  and  lowliness  of  heart,  meekness 
and  long-suffering,  and  in  faith,  and  virtue,  and  knowledge,  tem- 
perance, pailence,  godliness,  brotherly  kindness  and  charity; 

Because  the  promise  is.  if  these  things  abound  In  them,  they 
shall  not  be  unfruitful  in  the  knowledge  of  the  Lord. 

And  in  case  that  any  decision  of  these  quorums  Is  made  In 
unrighteousness,  it  may  be  brought  before  a  general  assembly  of 
the  several  quorums,  which  constitute  the  spiritual  authorities  of 
the  church,  otherwise  there  can  be  no  anneal  from  their  decision. 

The  Twelve  are  a  traveling  presiding  High  Council,  to  officiate  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord,  under  the  direction  of  the  Presidency  of  the 
church,  agreeable  to  the  institution  of  heaven:  to  build  up  the 
church,  and  regulate  all  the  affairs  of  the  same  in  all  nations: 
flrst  unto  the  Gentiles,  and  secondly  unto  the  Jews. 

The  seventy  are  to  act  In  the  name  of  the  Lord,  under  the 
direction  of  the  Twelve  or  the  traveling  High  Council.  In  building 
up  the  church  and  regulating  all  the  affairs  of  the  same  in  all 
nations — first  unto  the  Gentiles  and  then  to  the  Jews: 

The  Twelve  being  sent  out.  holding  the  keys,  to  open  the  door 
by  the  proclamation  of  the  gospel  of  Jesus  Christ — and  first  unto 
the  Gentiles  and  then  unto  the  Jews. 

The  standing  High  Councils,  at  the  Stakes  of  Zlon.  form  a  quorum 
equal  in  authority,  in  the  affairs  of  the  church.  In  all  their  decisions, 
to  the  ouorum  of  the  Presidency,  or  to  the  traveling  High  Council. 

The  High  Council  in  Zlon.  form  a  quorum  equal  in  authority. 
In  the  affairs  of  the  church.  In  nil  their  decisions,  to  the  Councils 
of  the  Twelve  at  the  Stakes  of  Zion. 

It  Is  the  duty  of  the  traveling  High  Council  to  call  upon  the 
seventy,  when  they  need  assistance,  to  fill  the  several  calls  for 
preaching  and  administering  the  gospel.  Instead  of  any  others. 

It  Is  the  duty  of  the  Twelve,  in  all  large  branches  of  the  church, 
to  ordain  evangelical  ministers,  as  they  shall  be  designated  unto 
them  by  revelation.  *  *  * 

It  Is  the  fluty  of  the  Twelve,  also,  to  ordain  and  set  In  order  all 
the  other  officers  of  the  church,  agreeable  to  the  revelation  which 
says : 

To  the  church  of  Christ  In  the  land  of  Zion.-  In  addition  to  the 
church  laws  respecting  church  business — 

Verily.  I  say  unto  you.  says  the  Lord  of  hosts,  there  must  needs 
be  presiding  elders  to  preside  over  those  who  are  of  the  office  of 
an  elder: 

And  also  priests  to  preside  over  those  who  are  of  the  office  of  a 
priest: 

And  also  teachers  to  preside  over  those  who  are  of  the  office  of 
a  teacher:  in  like  manner,  and  also  the  deacons: 

Wherefore,  from  deacon  to  teacher,  nnd  from  teacher  to  priest, 
and  from  priest  to  elder,  severally  as  they  are  appointed,  according 
to  the  covenants  and  commandments  of  the  church. 

Then  comes  the  High   Priesthood,   which  Is  the   greatest  of  all: 

Wherefore  It  must  needs  be  that  one  be  appointed  of  the  High 
Priesthood  to  preside  over  the  Priesthood,  and  he  shall  be  called 
President  of  the  High  Priesthood  of  the  church: 

Or.  in  other  words,  the  Presiding  High  Priest  over  the  High 
Priesthood  of  the  church. 

From  the  same  comes  the  administering  of  ordinances  and  bless- 
ings upon  the  church,  by  the  laving  on  of  the  hands. 

Wherefore  the  office  of  a  bishon  Is  not  equal  unto  it;  for  the 
office  of  a  bishop  Is  In  administering  all  temporal  things: 

Nevertheless  a  bishop  roust  he  chosen  from  the  High  Priesthood, 
unless  he  is  a  literal  descendant  of  Aaron: 

For  unless  he  Is  a  literal  descendant  of  Aaron  he  cannot  hold  the 
kevs  of  that  priesthood 

Nevertheless,  a  High  Priest  that  Is  after  the  order  of  Melchisedek. 
may  be  set  apart  unto  the  ministering  of  temporal  things,  having 
a  knowledge  of  them  by  the  Snlrtt  of  truth. 

And  also  to  be  a  judge  In  Israel,  to  do  the  business  of  the  church, 
to  sit  In  judgment  upon  transgressors  upon  testimony  as  It  shall  be 
laid  before  him  according  to  the  laws,  by  the  assistance  of  his 


counselors,  whom  he  has  chosen,  or  will  choose  among  th«  elders 
of  the  church. 

This  is  the  duty  of  a  bishop  who  Is  not  a  literal  descendant  of 
Aaron,  but  has  been  ordained  to  the  High  Priesthood  after  the 
order  of  Melchisedek. 

Thus  shall  he  be  a  judge,  even  a  common  judge  among  the 
inhabitants  of  Zion.  or  in  a  Stake  of  Zlon.  or  in  any  branch  of  the 
church  where  he  shall  be  set  apart  unto  this  ministry,  until  the 
borders  of  Zion  are  enlarged,  and  it  becomes  necessary  to  have 
other  bishops  or  judges  in  Zlon,  or  elsewhere; 

And  inasmuch  as  there  are  other  bishops  appointed  they  shall 
act  in  the  same  office. 

But  a  literal  descendant  of  Aaron  has  a  legal  right  to  the 
presidency  of  this  priesthood,  to  the  keys  of  this  ministry,  to  act 
in  the  office  of  bishop  independently,  without  counselors,  except 
in  a  case  where  a  President  of  the  High  Priesthood,  after  the 
order  of  Melchisedek,  Is  tried,  to  sit  as  a  judge  in  Israel. 

And  the"  decision  of  either  of  these  councils,  agreeable  to  the 
commandment  which  says, 

Again,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  the  most  important  business  of 
the  church,  and  the  most  difficult  cases  of  the  church,  inasmuch 
as  there  is  not  satisfaction  upon  the  decision  of  the  bishop  or 
judges,  it  shall  be  handed  over  and  carried  up  unto  the  Council 
of  the  church,  before  the  Presidency  of  the  High  Priesthood; 

And  the  Presidency  of  the  Council  of  the  High  Priesthood  shall 
have  power  to  call  other  High  Priests,  even  twelve,  to  assist  as 
counselors;  and  thus  the  Presidency  of  the  High  Priesthood  and  Its 
counselors  shall  have  power  to  decide  upon  testimony  according 
to  the  laws  of  the  church. 

And  after  this  decision  it  shall  be  had  In  remembrance  no  more 
before  the  Lord:  for  this  is  the  highest  Council  of  the  church  of 
God.  and  a  final  decision  upon  controversies  in  spiritual  matters. 

There  is  not  any  person  belonging  to  the  church  who  is  exempt 
from  this  Council  of  the  church. 

And  inasmuch  as  a  President  of  the  High  Priesthood  shall  trans- 
gress, he  shall  be  had  in  remembrance  before  the  common  council 
of  the  church,  who  shall  be  assisted  by  twelve  counselors  of  the 
High  Priesthood: 

And  their  decision  upon  his  head  shall  be  an  end  of  controversy 
concerning  him. 

Thus,  none  shall  be  exempted  from  the  justice  and  the  laws  of 
God.  that  all  things  may  be  done  in  order  and  in  solemnity  before 
him,  according  to  truth  and  righteousness. 

And  again,  verily  1  say  unto  you.  the  duty  of  a  president  over 
the  office  of  a  deacon  is  to  preside  over  twelve  deacons,  to  sit  in 
council  with  them,  and  to  teach  them  their  duty — edifying  one 
another,  as  It  is  given  according  to  the  covenants. 

And  also  the  duty  of  the  president  over  the  office  of  the  teachers 
Is  to  preside  over  twenty-four  of  the  teachers,  and  to  sit  in  council 
with  them,  teaching  them  the  duties  of  their  office,  as  given  in  th» 
covenants. 

Also  the  duty  of  the  president  over  the  priesthood  of  Aaron  Is 
to  preside  over  forty-eight  priests,  and  sit  in  council  with  them,  to 
teach  them  the  duties  of  their  office,  as  is  given  in  the  covenants. 

This  president  is  to  be  a  bishop;  for  this  is  one  of  the  duties  of 
this  priesthood. 

Again,  the  duty  of  the  president  over  the  office  of  elders  la  to 
preside  over  ninety-six  elders,  and  to  sit  in  council  with  them,  and 
to  teach  them  according  to  the  covenants. 

This  presidency  is  a  distinct  one  from  that  of  the  seventy,  and  Is 
designed  for  those  who  do  not  travel  Into  all  the  world. 

And  again,  the  duty  of  the  President  of  the  office  of  the  High 
Priesthood  is  to  preside  over  the  whole  church,  and  to  be  like  unto 
Moses. 

Behold,  here  Is  wisdom;  yea,  to  be  a  seer,  a  revelator.  a  translator, 
and  a  prophet,  having  all  the  gifts  of  God  which  he  bestows  upon 
the  head  of  the  church. 

And  it  is  according  to  the  vision,  showing  the  order  of  the 
seventy,  that  they  should  have  seven  presidents  to  preside  over 
them,  chosen  out  of  the  number  of  the  seventy; 

And  the  seventh  president  of  these  presidents  Is  to  preside  »ver 
the  six; 

And  these  seven  presidents  are  to  choose  other  seventy  besides 
the  first  seventy,  to  whom  they  belong,  and  are  to  preside  over 
them; 

And  also  other  seventy,  until  seven  times  seventy,  if  the  labor 
in  the  vineyard  of  necessity  requires  it. 

And  these  seventy  are  to  be  traveling  ministers  unto  the  Gentiles 
first,  and  also  unto  the  Jews: 

Whereas  other  officers  of  the  church,  who  belong  not  unto  the 
Twelve,  neither  to  the  seventy,  are  not  under  the  responsibility  to 
travel  among  all  nations,  but  are  to  travel  as  their  circumstances 
shall  allow,  notwithstanding  they  may  hold  as  high  and  responsible 
offices  in  the  church. 

Wherefore  now  let  every  man  learn  his  duty,  and  to  act  In  the 
office  In  which  he  Is  appointed,  in  all  diligence. 

He  that  Is  slothful  shall  not  be  counted  worthy  to  stand,  and  he 
that  learns  not  his  duty  and  shows  himself  not  approved,  shall  not 
he  counted  worthy  to  stand.  Even  so.  Amen. — Doc.  and  Cov.  107:

Verily,  thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  require  all  their  surplus  property 
to  be  put  into  the  hands  of  the  bishop  of  my  church  of  Zion, 

For  the  building  of  mine  house,  and  for  the  laying  of  the  foun- 
dation of  Zion  and  for  the  Priesthood,  and  for  the  debts  of  the 
Presidency  of  my  church;

And  after  that,  those  who  have  thus  been  tithed,  shall  pay  one- 
tenth  of  all  their  interest  annually;  and  this  shall  be  a  standing  law 
unto  them  for  ever,  for  my  holy  Priesthood,  saith  the  Lord. 

Verily  I  say  unto  you.  It  shall  come  to  pass,  that  all  those 
who  gather  unto  the  land  of  Zion  shall  be  tithed  of  their  surplus 
properties,  and  shall  observe  this  law,  or  they  shall  not  be  found 
worthy  to  abide  among  you.

it  holy,  and  by  this  law  sanctify  the  land  of  Zion  unto  me.  that 
my  statues  and  my  judgments  may  be  kept  thereon,  that  it  may 
be  most  holy,  behold,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  it  shall  not  be  a  land

Zion.  Amen. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  120.

And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  you.  my  servant  George  Miller  is 
without  guile;  he  may  be  trusted  because  of  the  integrity  of  his 
heart;  and  for  the  love  which  he  has  to  my  testimony  r,  the  Lord, 
love  him; 

I  therefore  say  unto  you,  I  seal  upon  his  head  the  office  of  a 
bishopric,  like  unto  my  servant  Edward  Partridge,  that  he  may 
receive  the  consecrations  of  mine  house,  that  he  may  administer 
blessings  upon  the  heads  of  the  poor  of  my  people,  salth  the  Lord. 
Let  no  man  despise  my  servant  George,  for  he  shall  honor  me.

as  my  servant  Joseph  shall  show  unto  them;  upon  the  place  which 
he  shall  show  unto  them  also. 

And  it  shall  be  for  a  house  for  boarding,  a  house  that  strangers 
may  ccme  from  afar  to  lodge  therein:  therefore  let  it  be  a  good 
house,  worthy  of  all  acceptation,  that  the  weary  traveler  may  find 
health  and  safety  while  he  shall  contemplate  the  word  of  the  Lord; 
and  the  corner  stone  I  have  appointed  for  Zion.  •  *  •

But  behold,  at  the  end  of  this  appointment,  your  baptisms  for 
your  dead  shall  not  be  acceptable  unto  me:  and  If  you  do  not  these

church,  with  your  dead,  saith  the  Lord  your  God.  '

Priesthood  which  is  after  the  order  of  Melchlsedek.  which  Is  after 
the  order  of  my  Only  Begotten  Son. 

First,  T  give  unto  you  Hyrum  Smith,  to  be  a  Patriarch  unto  you,

that  ye  may  not  fall,  notwithstanding  the  hour  of  temptation  that 
may  come  upon  you.

Hyde,  William  Smith.  John  Taylor.  John  E.  Page.  Wllford  Woodruff,

David   Patten   I   have   taken   unto   myself:   behold,    his   Priest] 
no  man  taketh  from  him;  but.  verily  I  say  unto  you,  another  may 
be  appointed  unto  the  same  calling.

a  quorum  of  High  Priests: 

Which  ordinance  is  instituted  for  the  purpose  of  qualifying:  those 
who  shall  be  appointed  standing  presidents  or  servants  over  different 
Stakes  scattered  abroad. 

And  they  may  travel  also  if  they  choose,  but  rather  be  ordained 
for  standing  presidents,  this  is  the  office  of  their  calling,  saith  the 
Lord  your  God.

that  they  may  preside  over  the  quorum  of  High  Priests  of  my

Williams,  and  Jesse  Baker,  which  Priesthood  is  to  preside  over  the 
quorum  of  elders,  which  quorum  is  instituted  for  standing  ministers,

ministers  to  my  church,  sailh  the  Lord.

Daniel  Miles,  Henry  Herriman.  Zera  Pulsipher.  Lev!  Hancock,  James

of  my  name  In  all  the  world,  wherever  the  traveling  High  Council, 
my  apostles,  shall  send  them  to  prepare  a  way  before  my  face. 

The  difference  between  this  quorum  and  the  quorum  of  elders  Is, 
that  one  is  to  travel  continually,  and  the  other  is  to  preside  over 
the  churches  from  time  to  time;  the  one  has  the  responsibility  of 
presiding  from  time  to  time,  and  the  other  has  no  responsibility  of 
presiding,  saith  the  Lord  your  God. 

And  again.  I  say  unto  you  I  give  unto  you  Vinson  Knight.  Samuel 
H.  Smith,  and  Shadrach  Roundy.  If  he  will  receive  it.  to  preside

in  the  Book  of  Doctrine  and  Covenants. 

And  again,  I  say  unto  you,  Samuel  Holfe  and  his  counselors  for 
priests,  and  the  president  of  the  teachers  and  his  counselors,  and 
also  the  president  of  the  deacons  and  his  counselors,  and  also  the 
president  of  the  stake  and  his  counselors; 

The  above  offices  1  have  given  unto  you,  and  the  keys  thereof,  for 
helps  and  for  governments,  for  the  work  of  the  ministry,  and  the 
perfecting  of  my  saints; 

And  a  commandment  I  give  unto  you  that  you  should  fill  all 
these  offices  and  approve  of  those  names  which  I  have  mentioned, 
or  else  disapprove  of  them  at  my  general  conference.— Doc.  and  Cov.

any  of  you  are  baptized  for  your  dead,  let  there  be  a  Recorder,  and 
let  him  be  eye  witness  of  your  baptisms;  let  him  hear  with  his 
ears,  that  he  may  testify  of  a  truth,  saith  the  Lord;  *  *  • — Doc.

Tues.    6. — Joseph   Smith   wrote   another   important   address 
to  the  Saints   in   relation   to  baptism   for  the  dead,   and   the 
necessity  of  keeping  records.     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  See.  128.) 
Address  to  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints,  dated 
Nauvoo,   September  6th.  1842. 

As  I  stated  to  you  in  my  letter  before  I  left  my  place,  that  I 
would  write  to  you  from  time  to  time,  and  give  you  information  In 
relation  to  many  subjects.  I  now  resume  the  subject  of  the  baptism 
for  the  dead,  as  that  subject  seems  to  occupy  my  mind,  and  press 
Itself  upon  my  feelings  the  strongest,  since  I  have  been  pursued  by 
my  enemies. 

I  wrote  a  few  words  of  revelation  to  you  concerning  a  recorder. 
I  have  had  a  few  additional  views  In  relation  to  this  matter, 
which  I  now  certify.  That  is.  It  was  declared  in  my  former  letter 
that  there  should  be  a  recorder,  who  should  be  eye  witness,  and 
also  to  hear  with  his  ears,  that  he  might  make  a  record  of  a  truth 
before  the  Lord. 

Now,  In  relation  to  this  matter,  it  would  be  very  difficult  for  one 
recorder  to  be  present  at  all  times,  and  to  do  all  the  business.  To 
obviate  this  difficulty,  there  can  be  a  recorder  appointed  in  each 
ward  of  the  city,  who  is  well  qualified  for  taking  accurate  minutes; 
and  let  him  be  very  particular  a'nd  precise  In  taking  the  whole 
proceedings,  certifying  in  his  record  that  he  saw  with  his  eyes, 
and  heard  with  his  ears,  giving  the  date  and  names,  etc.,  and  the 
history  of  the  whole  transaction:  naming  also,  some  three  indi- 
viduals that  are  present.  If  there  be  any  present,  who  can  at  any 
time  when  called  upon,  certify  to  the  same,  that  In  the  mouth  of 
two  or  three  witnesses,  every  word  may  be  established. 

Then  let  there  be  a  general  recorder,  to  whom  these  other  records 
can  be  handed,  being  attended  with  certificates  over  their  own 
signatures,  certifying  that  the  record  they  have  made  la  true.  Then 


the  general  church  recorder,  can  enter  the  record  on  the  general 
church  book,  with  the  certificates  and  all  the  attending  witnesses, 
with  his  own  statement  that  he  verily  believes  the  above  statement 
and  records  to  be  true,  from  his  knowledge  of  the  general  character 
and  appointment  of  those  men  by  the  church.  And  when  this  Is 
done  on  the  general  church  book,  the  record  shall  be  just  as  holy, 
and  shall  answer  the  ordinance  just  the  same  as  if  he  had  seen 
with  his  eyes,  and  heard  with  his  ears,  and  made  a  record  of  the 
same  on  the  general  church  book. 

You  may  think  this  order  of  things  to  be  very  particular,  but 
let  me  tell  you,  that  it  is  only  to  answer  the  will  of  Gpd.  by  con- 
forming to  the  ordinance  and  preparation  that  the  Lord  ordained 
and  prepared  before  the.  foundation  of  the  world,  for  the  salvation 
of  the  dead  who  should  die  without  a  knowledge  of  the  gospel. 

And  further  I  want  you  to  remember  that  John  the  Revelator 
was  contemplating  this  very  subject  in  relation  to  the  dead,  when 
he  declared,  as  you  will  find  recorded  in  Revelations  xx.  12 — "And 
I  saw  the  dead,  small  and  great,  stand  before  God:  and  the  books 
were  opened;  and  another  book  was  opened,  which  was  the  book 
of  life:  and  the  dead  were  judged  out  of  those  things  which  were 
written  in  the  books,  according  to  their  works." 

You  will  discover  in  this  quotation,  that  the  books  were  opened; 
and  another  book  was  opened,  which  was  the  book  of  life:  but  the 
dead  were  judged  out  of  those  things  which  were  written  in  the 
books,  according  to  their  works;  consequently  the  hooks  spoken  of 
must  be  the  books  which  contained  the  record  of  their  works;  and 
refer  to  the  records  which  are  kept  on  the  earth.  And  the  book 
which  was  the  book  of  life,  is  the  record  which  is  kept  in  heaven; 
the  principle  agreeing  precisely  with  the  doctrine  which  is  com- 
manded you  In  the  revelation  contained  in  the  letter  which  I 
wrote  to  you  previously  to  my  leaving  my  place — -that  in  all  your 
recordings  it  may  be  recorded  In  heaven. 

Now  the  nature  of  this  ordinance  consists  In  the  power  of  the 
Priesthood,  by  the  revelation  of  Jesus  Christ,  wherein  it  is  granted, 
that  whatsoever  you  bind  on  earth,  shall  be  bound  in  heaven,  and 
whatsoever  you  loose  on  earth,  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven.  Or.  in 
other  words,  taking  a  different  view  of  the  translation,  whatsoever 
you  record  on  earth,  shall  be  recorded  in  heaven;  and  whatsoever 
you  do  not  record  on  earth,  shall  not  be  recorded  in  heaven:  for  out 
of  the  books  shall  your  dead  be  judged,  according  to  their  own 
works,  whether  they  themselves  have  attended  to  the  ordinances 
In  their  own  propria  persona,  or  by  the  means  of  their  own  agents, 
according  to  the  ordinance  which  God  has  prepared  for  their  salva- 
tion from  before  the  foundation  of  the  world,  according  to  the 
records  which  they  have  kept  concerning  their  dead. 

It  may  seem  to  some  to  be  a  very  bold  doctrine  that  we  talk  of — 
a  power  which  records  or  binds  on  earth,  and  binds  in  heaven. 
Nevertheless  in  all  ages  of  the  world,  whenever  the  Lord  has 
given  a  dispensation  of  the  Priesthood  to  any  man  by  actual  revela- 
tion, or  any  set  of  men.  this  power  has  always  been  given.  Hence, 
whatsoever  those  men  did  in  authority,  in  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
and  did  it  truly  and  faithfully,  and  kept  a  proper  and  faithful 
record  of  the  same,  it  became  a  law  on  earth  and  In  heaven,  and 
could  not  be  annulled,  according  to  the  decrees  of  the  great 
Jehovah.  This  is  a  faithful  saying!  Who  can  hear  it? 

And  again,  for  the  precedent.  Matthew  xvi.  18.  19.  "And  I  also 
say  unto  thee.  that  thou  art  Peter:  and  upon  this  rock  I  will  build 
my  church;  and  the  gates  of  hell  shall  not  prevail  against  it;  and  I 
will  give  unto  thee  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven,  and  what- 
soever thou  shall  bind  on  earth,  shall  be  bound  In  heaven:  and 
whatsoever  thou  Shalt  loose  on  earth,  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven." 

Now  the  great  and  grand  secret  of  the  whole  matter,  and  the 
Rtummim  bonum  of  the  whole  subject  that  is  lying  before  us.  consists 
in  obtaining  the  powers  of  the  Holy  Priesthood.  For  him  to  whom 
these  keys  are  given,  there  is  no  difficulty  in  obtaining  a  knowledge 
of  facts  in  relation  to  the  salvation  of  the  children  of  men.  both  a» 
well  for  the  dead  as  for  the  living. 

Herein  is  glory  and  honor,  and  immortality  and  eternal  life.  The 
ordinance  of  baptism  by  water,  to  be  Immersed  therein  in  order  to 
answer  to  the  likeness  of  the  dead,  that  one  principle  might  accord 
with  the  other.  To  be  immersed  in  the  water  and  come  forth  out 
of  the  water  is  in  the  likeness  of  the  resurrection  of  the  dead  in 
coming  forth  out  of  their  graves;  hence  this  ordinance  was  Insti- 
tuted to  form  a  relationship  with  the  ordinance  of  baptism  for  the 
dead,  being  in  likeness  of  the  dead. 

Consequently  the  baptismal  font  was  instituted  as  a  simile  of  the 
grave,  and  was  commanded  to  be  in  a  place  underneath  where  the 
living  are  wont  to  assemble,  to  show  forth  the  living  and  the  dead; 
and  that  all  things  may  have  their  likeness,  and  that  they  may 
accord  one  with  another:  that  which  is  earthly  conforming  to  that 
which  is  heavenly,  as  Paul  hath  declared.  1  Corinthians  xv.  46.  47, 
and  48. 

"Howbeit  that  was  not  first  which  is  spiritual,  but  that  which  is 
natural,  and  afterwards  that  which  Is  spiritual.  The  first  man  is 
of  the  earth,  earthy;  the  second  man  is  the  Lord,  from  heaven. 
As  is  the  earthy,  such  are  they  also  that  are  earthy:  and  as  is  the 
heavenly,  such  are  they  also  that  are  heavenly."  And  as  are  the 
records  on  the  earth  in  relation  to  your  dead,  which  are  truly  made 
out.  so  also  are  the  records  in  heaven.  This,  therefore,  is  the 
sealing  and  binding  power,  and,  in  one  sense  of  the  word,  the  keys 
of  the  kingdom  which  consist  In  the  key  of  knowledge. 

And  now,  my  dearly  beloved  brethren  and  sisters,  let  me  assure 
you  that  these  are  principles  In  relation  to  the  dead,  and  the  living, 
that  cannot  be  lightly  passed  over,  as  pertaining  to  our  salvation. 
For  their  salvation  is  necessary,  and  essential  to  our  salvation,  as 
Paul  says  concerning  the  fathers  "that  they  without  us  cannot  be 
made  perfect:"  neither  can  we  without  our  dead  be  made  perfect. 

And  now.  In  relation  to  the  baptism  for  the  dead,  I  will  give 
you  another  quotation  of  Paul.  1  Corinthians  xv.  29.  "Else  what 
shall  they  do  which  are  baptized  for  the  dead,  if  the  dead  rise  not 
at  all;  why  are  they  then  baptized  for  the  dead?" 

And  again.  In  connection  with  this  quotation.  I  will  give  you  a 
quotation  from  one  of  the  prophets,  who  had  his  eye  fixed  on  the 
restoration  of  the  Priesthood,  the  glories  to  be  revealed  in  the  last 
days,  and  In  an  especial  manner  this  most  glorious  of  all  subjects 
belonging  to  the  everlasting  gospel,  viz..  the  baptism  for  the  dead; 
for  Malacbl  says,  last  chapter,  verses  5th  and  6th.  "Behold,  T  will 
send  you  Elijah  the  prophet,  before  the  coming  of  the  great  and 
dreadful  day  of  the  Lord:  and  he  shall  turn  the  heart  of  the 
fathers  to  the  children,  and  the  heart  of  the  children  to  their 
fathers,  lest  I  come  and  smite  the  earth  with  a  curse." 

I  might  have  rendered  a  plainer  translation  to  this,  but  it  Is 
sufficiently  plain  to  suit  my  purpose  as  It  stands.  It  Is  sufficient  to 
know,  in  this  case,  that  the  earth  will  be  smitten  with  a  curse, 
unless  there  is  a  welding  link  of  some  kind  or  other,  between  the 
fathers  and  the  children,  upon  some  subject  or  other,  and  behold 
what  Is  that  subject?  It  is  the  baptism  for  the  dead.  For  we 
without  them  cannot  be  made  perfect;  neither  can  they  without 
us  be  made  perfect.  Neither  can  they  nor  we.  be  made  perfect, 
without  those  who  have  died  in  the  gospel  also:  for  it  is  necessary 
In  the  ushering  in  of  the  dispensation  of  the  fullness  of  times; 
which  dispensation  Is  now  beginning  to  usher  in.  that  a  whole  and 
complete  and  perfect  union,  and  welding  together  of  dispensations, 
and  keys,  and  powers,  and  glories  should  take  place,  and  be

Three  Grand  Keys  by  which  Good  or  Bad  Angels  or  Spirits  may  be 
known.      Revealed   to   Joseph,  the   Prophet,   at   Nauvoo.   Illinois. 
February   9th.    1843. 

There  are  two  kinds  of  beings  in  heaven — viz.,  angels  who  are 
resurrected  personages,  having  bodies  of  flesh  and  bones. 

For  instance,  Jesus  said,  "Handle  me  and  see,  for  a  spirit  hath 
not  flesh  and  bones,  as  ye  see  me  have." 

2nd.  The  spirits  of  just  men  made  perfect — they  who  are  not 
resurrected,  but  inherit  the  same  glory. 

When  a  messenger  comes,  saying  he  has  a  message  from  God, 
offer  him  your  hand,  and  request  him  to  shake  hands  with  you. 

If  he   be   an  angel,    he   will   do   so,   and   you   will   feel   his  hand. 

If  he  be  the  spirit  of  a  just  man  made  perfect,  he  will  come  in 
his  glory;  for  that  is  the  only  way  he  can  appear. 

Ask  him  to  shake  hands  with  you,  but  he  will  not  move,  because 
it  is  contrary  to  the  order  of  heaven  for  a  just  man  to  deceive;  but 
he  will  still  deliver  his  message. 

If  it  be  the  Devil  as  an  angel  of  light,  when  you  ask  him  to 
shake  hands,  he  will  offer  you  his  hand,  and  you  will  not  feel 
anything:  you  may  therefore  detect  him. 

These  are  three  grand  keys  whereby  you  may  know  whether  any 
administration  is  from  God. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  129.

commencement  of  the  difficulties  which  will  cause  much 
bloodshed  previous  to  the  coming-  of  the  Son  of  Man,  will  be 
in  South  Carolina." 


Important  Items  of  Instruction,  given  by  Joseph,  the  Prophet.  April 
2nd.   1843. 

When  the  Saviour  shall  appear,  we  shall  see  him  as  he  is.  We 
shall  see  that  he  is  a  man  like  ourselves; 

And  that  same  sociality  which  exists  among  us  here  will  exist 
among  us  there,  only  it  will  be  coupled  with  eternal  glory,  which 
glory  we  do  not  now  enjoy. 

(John  xiv.  23.)  The  appearing  of  the  Father  and  the  Son,  In 
that  verse,  is  a  personal  appearance;  and  the  idea  that  the  Father 
and  the  Son  dwell  in  a  man's  heart,  is  an  old  sectarian  notion,  and 
is  false. 

In  answer  to  the  question,  "Is  not  the  reckoning  of  God's  time, 
angel's  time,  prophet's  time,  and  man's  time  according  to  the  planet 
on  which  they  reside?" 

I  answer,  yes.  But  there  are  no  angels  who  minister  to  this 
earth  but  those  who  do  belong  or  have  belonged  to  ft. 

The   angels   do   not   reside   on   a   planet    like   this   earth. 

But  they  reside  in  the  presence  of  God.  on  a  globe  like  a  sea  of 
glass  and  fire,  where  all  things  for  their  glory  are  manifest — past, 
present,  and  future,  and  are  continually  before  the  I^ord. 

The  place  wheie  Gnd   resides  is  a  great  Urim  and   Thummim. 

This  earth,  in  its  sanctified  and  immortal  state,  will  be  made  like 
unto  crystal  and  will  be  a  Urim  and  Thummim  to  the  inhabitants 
who  dwell  thereon,  whereby  all  things  pertaining  to  an  inferior 
kingdom,  or  all  kingdoms  of  a  lower  order,  will  be  manifest  to 
those  who  dwell  on  it;  and  this  earth  will  be  Christ's. 

Then  the  white  stone  mentioned  in  Revelations  ii.  17.  will  become 
a  Urim  and  Thummirn  to  each  Individual  who  receives  one.  whereby 
things  pertaining  to  a  higher  order  of  kingdoms,  even  all  kingdoms, 
will  be  made  known; 

And  a  white  stone  is  given  to  each  of  those  who  come  into  the 
celestial  kingdom,  whereon  is  a  new  name  written,  which  no  man 
knoweth  save  he  that  receiveth  It.  The  new  name  is  the  key  word. 

I  prophesy,  in  the  name  of  the  I>ord  God.  that  the  commencement 
of  the  difficulties  which  will  cause  much  bloodshed  previous  to  the 
coming  of  the  Son  of  Man  will  be  in  South  Carolina. 

It  may  probably  arise  through  the  slave  question.  This  a  voice 
declared  to  me,  while  I  was  praying  earnestly  on  the  subject, 
December  25th,  1832. 

Thurs.  6. — At  a  conference  held  in  the  Temple,  at  Kirtland, 
Ohio,  it  was  decided  that  all  the  Saints  residing  at  that  place 
should  remove  to  Nauvoo,  111. 

— An  important  conference,  which  continued  its  sessions 
till  the  8th,  was  commenced  on  the  floor  of  the  Temple,  at 
Nauvoo,  111.  Joseph  Smith  prophesied  that  Christ  would  not 
come  until  he  (Joseph)  was  eighty-five  years  of  age. 

I  was  once  praying  very  earnestly  to  know  the  time  of  the  coming 
of  the  Son  of  Man.  when  I  heard  a  voice  repeat  the  following: — 

"Joseph,  my  son,  if  thou  livest  until  thou  art  eighty-five  years 
old,  thou  shall  see  the  face  of  the  Son  of  Man:  therefore  let  this 
suffice,  and  trouble  me  no  more  on  this  matter." 

I  was  left  thus,  without  being  able  to  decide  whether  this  coming 
referred  to  the  beginning  of  the  millennium  or  to  some  previous 
appearing,  or  whether  I  should  die  and  thus  see  his  face. 

I  believe  the  coming  of  the  Son  of  Man  will  not  be  any  sooner 
than  that  time. 

Whatever  principles  of  intelligence  we  attain  unto  in  this  life.  It 
will  rise  with  us  In  the  resurrection: 

And  If  a  person  gains  more  knowledge  and  intelligence  In  this 
life  through  his  diligence  and  obedience  than  another,  he  will  have 
so  much  the  advantage  in  the  world  to  come. 

There  is  a  law,  Irrevocably  decreed  in  heaven  before  the  founda- 
tions of  this  world,  upon  which  all  blessings  are  predicated: 

And  when  we  obtain  any  blessing  from  God,  it  is  by  obedience 
to  that  law  upon  which  it  is  predicated. 

The  Father  has  a  body  of  flesh  and  bones  as  tangible  as  man's; 
the  Son  also:  but  the  Holy  Ghost  has  not  a  body  of  flesh  and  bones, 
but  is  a  personage  of  Spirit.  Were  it  not  so,  the  Holy  Ghost 
could  not  dwell  in  us. 

A  man  may  receive  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  it  may  descend  upon  him 
and  not  tarry  with  him. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  130. 

Mon.  10. — About  one  hundred  and  fifteen  Elders  were 
called  on  missions  to  different  States,  at  a  special  confer-

Tuesday.  16. — On  this  and  the  following  day  Joseph  Smith 
made  some  important  remarks  about  the  celestial  glory, 
at  Ramus,  111. 

Remarks  nf  Joseph,  the  Prophet,  at  Ramus,  Illinois.  May  16th  and 
17th,  1843. 

In  the  celestial  glory  there  are  three  heavens  or  degrees: 

And  in  order  to  obtain  the  highest,  a  man  must  enter  in  to  this 
Order  of  the  Priesthood;  (meaning  the  new  and  everlasting  covenant 
of  marriage;) 

And   if   he   does   not,    he   cannot  obtain   it. 

He  may  enter  into  the  other,  but  that  is  the  end  of  his  kingdom: 
he  cannot  have  an  increase. 

(May  17th.  1843.)  The  more  sure  word  of  prophecy  (mentioned 
by  Peter)  means  a  man's  knowing  that  he  is  sealed  up  unto  eternal 
life,  by  revelation  and  the  spirit  of  prophecy,  through  the  power 
of  the  Holy  Priesthood. 

It  is  impossible  for  a  man   to  be  saved  In   ignorance. 

There  is  no  such  thing  as  immaterial  matter.  All  spirit  is  matter, 
but  it  Is  more  fine  or  pure,  and  can  only  be  discerned  by  purer  eyes. 

We  cannot  see  it;  but  when  our  bodies  are  purified,  we  shall  see 
that  It  is  all  matter. — Doc.  and  Cov.  Sec.  131. 

Thurs.  18. — Returning  to  Nauvoo  from  his  visit  to  Ra- 
mus, Joseph  Smith  dined  with  Judge  Stephen  A.  Douglas,

which  took  place  Joseph  prophesied  that  Judge  Douglas 
would  aspire  to  the  Presidency  of  the  United  States,  and 
added  that  if  he  ever  turned  his  hand  against  the  Latter- 
day  Saints,  he  should  feel  the  hand  of  the  Almighty  upon 
him,  etc.

Revelation  on  the  Eternity  of  the  Marriage  Covenant,  including- 
Plurality  of  Wives.  Given  through  Joseph,  the  Seer,  in  Nauvoo, 
Hancock  County,  Illinois,  July  12th.  1843. 

Verily,  thus  salth  the  Lord  unto  you,  my  servant  Joseph,  that 
inasmuch  as  you  have  Inquired  of  my  hand,  to  know  and  understand 
wherein  I,  the  Lord,  justified  my  servants  Abraham,  Isaac  and 
Jacob;  as  also  Moses.  David  and  Solomon,  my  servants,  as  touching 
the  principle  and  doctrine  of  their  having  many  wives  and  concu- 
bines: 

Behold!  and  lo,  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  will  answer  thee  as 
touching  this  matter: 

Therefore,  prepare  thy  heart  to  receive  and  obey  the  Instructions 
which  I  am  about  to  give  unto  you:  for  all  those  who  have  this 
law  revealed  unto  them  must  obey  the  same: 

For  behold!  I  reveal  unto  you  a  new  and  an  everlasting  covenant; 
and  If  ye  abide  not  that  covenant,  then  are  ye  damned;  for  no  one 
can  reject  this  covenant,  and  be  permitted  to  enter  Into  my  glory; 

For  all  who  will  have  a  blessing  at  my  hands,  shall  abide  the 
law  which  was  appointed  for  that  blessing,  and  the  conditions 
thereof,  as  were  Instituted  from  before  the  foundation  of  the  world: 

And  as  pertaining  to  the  new  and  everlasting  covenant.  It  was 
Instituted  for  the  fullness  of  my  glory,  and  he  that  receiveth  a 
fullness  thereof,  must  and  shall  abide  the  law.  or  he  shall  be 
<amned,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

And  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  the  conditions  of  this  law  are 
these: — All  covenants,  contracts,  bonds,  obligations,  oaths,  vows,  per- 
formances, connections,  associations,  or  expectations,  that  are  not 
made  and  entered  Into,  and  sealed  by  the  Holy  Spirit  of  promise,  of 
him  who  Is  anointed,  both  as  well  for  time  and  for  all  eternity,  and 
that  too  most  holy,  by  revelation  and  commandment  through  the 
medium  of  mine  anointed,  whom  I  have  appointed  on  the  earth  to 
hold  this  power,  (and  J  have  appointed  unto  my  servant  Joseph  to 
hold  this  power  In  the  last  days,  and  there  is  never  but  one  on  the 
earth  at  a  time,  on  whom  this  power  and  the  keys  of  this  Priest- 
hood are  conferred,)  are  of  no  efficacy,  virtue  or  force.  In  and  after 
the  resurrection  from  the  dead;  for  all  contracts  that  are  not  madft 
unto  this  end.  have  an  end  when  men  are  dead. 

Behold!  mine  house  Is  a  house  of  order,  salth  the  Lord  God,  and 
not  a  house  of  confusion. 

Will  I  accept  of  an  offering,  salth  the  Lord,  that  Is  not  made 
in  my  name! 

Or.  will  I  receive  at  your  hands  that  which  I  have  not  appointed! 

And  will  I  appoint  unto  you.  salth  the  Lord,  except  It  be  by  law, 
even  as  I  and  my  Father  ordained  unto  you,  before  the  world  was! 

I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  I  give  unto  you  this  commandment, 
that  no  man  shall  come  unto  the  Father  but  by  me,  or  by  my  word, 
which  Is  my  law,  saith  the  Lord: 

And  everything  that  Is  In  the  world,  whether  It  be  ordained  of 
men,  by  thrones,  or  principalities,  or  powers,  or  things  of  name, 
whatsoever  they  may  be,  that  are  not  by  me,  or  by  my  word,  saith 
the  Lord,  shall  be  thrown  down,  and  shall  not  remain  after  men 
are  dead,  neither  In  nor  after  the  resurrection,  salth  the  Lord  your 
God; 


For  whatsoever  things  remain,  are  by  me;  and  whatsoever  things 
are  not  by  me,  shall  be  shaken  and  destroyed. 

Therefore,  if  a  man  marry  him  a  wife  in  the  world,  and  he 
marry  her  not  by  me,  nor  by  my  word;  and  he  covenant  with  her 
so  long  as  he  is  in  the  world,  and  she  with  him.  their  covenant 
and  marriage  are  not  of  force  when  they  are  dead,  and  when  they 
are  out  of  the  world;  therefore,  they  are  not  bound  by  any  law 
when  they  are  out  of  the  world; 

Therefore,  when  they  are  out  of  the  world,  they  neither  marry, 
nor  are  given  in  marriage;  but  are  appointed  angels  in  heaven, 
which  angels  are  ministering  servants,  to  minister  for  those  who 
are  worthy  of  a  far  more,  and  an  exceeding,  and  an  eternal  weight 
of  glory; 

For  these  angels  did  not  abide  my  law,  therefore  they  cannot  be 
enlarged,  but  remain  separately  and  singly,  without  exaltation,  in 
their  saved  condition,  to  all  eternity,  and  from  henceforth  are  not 
Gods,  but  are  angels  of  God.  for  ever  and  ever. 

And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  if  a  man  marry  a  wife,  and 
make  a  covenant  with  her  for  time  and  for  all  eternity,  if  that 
covenant  is  not  by  me,  or  by  my  word,  which  is  my  law,  and  is  not 
sealed  by  the  Holy  Spirit  of  promise,  through  him  whom  I  have 
anointed  and  appointed  unto  this  power — then  It  Is  not  valid, 
neither  of  force  when  they  are  out  of  the  world,  because  they  are 
not  joined  by  me,  .saith  the  Lord,  neither  by  my  word;  when  they 
are  out  of  the  world,  it  cannot  be  received  there,  because  the  angels 
and  the  Gods  are  appointed  there,  by  whom  they  can  not  pass;  they 
cannot,  therefore,  inherit  my  glory,  for  my  house  is  a  house  of 
order,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  if  a  man  marry  a  wife  by  my 
word,  which  is  my  law.  and  by  the  new  and  everlasting  covenant, 
and  It  is  sealed  unto  them  by  the  Holy  Spirit  of  promise,  .by  him 
who  is  anointed,  unto  whom  I  have  appointed  this  power,  and  the 
keys  of  this  Priesthood;  and  It  shall  be  said  unto  them,  ye  shall 
come  forth  in  the  first  resurrection:  and  if  It  be  after  the  first 
resurrection,  in  the  next  resurrection;  and  shall  Inherit  thrones, 
kingdoms,  principalities,  and  powers,  dominions,  all  heights  and 
depths—then  shall  it  be  written  In  the  Lamb's  Book  of  Life,  that  he 
shall  commit  no  murder  whereby  to  shed  innocent  blood,  and  if 
ye  abide  in  my  covenant,  and  commit  no  murder  whereby  to  shed 
Innocent  blood,  it  shall  be  done  unto  them  In  all  things  whatsoever 
my  servant  hath  put  upon  them.  In  time,  and  through  all  eternity, 
and  shall  be  of  full  force  when  they  are  out  of  the  world;  and 
they  shall  pass  by  the  angels,  'and  the  Gods,  which  are  Bet  there, 
to  their  exaltation  and  glory  in  all  things,  as  hath  been  sealed  upon 
their  heads,  which  glory  shall  be  a  fullness  and  a  continuation 
of  the  seeds  for  ever  and  ever. 

Then  shall  they  be  Gods,  because  they  have  no  end;  therefore 
shall  they  be  from  everlasting  to  everlasting,  because  they  continue; 
then  shall  they  be  above  all.  because  all  things  are  subject  unto 
them.  Then  shall  they  be  Gods,  because  they  have  all  p«wer,  and 
the  angels  are  subject  unto  them. 

Verily,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  except  ye  abide  my  law,  ye  cannot 
attain  to  this  glory; 

For  strait  is  the  gate,  and  narrow  the  way  that  leadeth  unto  the 
exaltation  and  continuation  of  the  lives,  and  few  there  be  that  find 
it,  because  ye  receive  me  not  in  the  world,  neither  do  ye  know  me. 

But  If  ye  receive  me  in  the  world,  then  shall  ye  know  me,  and 
shall  receive  your  exaltation,  that  where  I  am,  ye  shall  be  also. 

This  Is  eternal  lives,  to  know  the  only  wise  and  true  God,  and 
Jesus  Christ,  whom  he  hath  sent.  I  am  he.  Receive  ye,  therefore, 
my  law. 

Broad  is  the  gate,  and  wide  the  way  that  leadeth  to  the  deaths, 
and  many  there  are  that  go  in  thereat;  because  they  receive  me  not, 
neither  do  they  abide  in  my  law. 

Verily,  verily  I  say  unto  you.  If  a  man  marry  a  wife  according 
to  my  word,  and  they  are  sealed  by  the  Holy  Spirit  of  promise, 
according  to  mine  appointment,  and  he  or  she  shall  commit  any 
sin  or  transgression  of  the  new  and  everlasting  covenant  whatever, 
and  all  manner  of  blasphemies,  and  if  they  commit  no  murder, 
wherein  they  shed  innocent  blood — yet  they  shall  come  forth  In 
the  first  resurrection,  and  enter  into  their  exaltation;  but  they  shall 
be  destroyed  in  the  flesh,  and  shall  be  delivered  unto  the  buffetings 
of  Satan  unto  the  day  of  redemption,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

The  blasphemy  against  the  Holy  Ghost,  which  shall  not  be  for- 
given in  the  world,  nor  out  of  the  world,  is  in  that  ye  commit 
murder,  wherein  ye  shed  innocent  blood,  and  assent  unto  my  death, 
after  ye  have  received  by  new  and  everlasting  covenant,  calth  the 
Lord  God;  and  he  that  abideth  not  this  law,  can  in  no  wise  enter 
Into  my  glory,  but  shall  be  damned,  saith  the  Lord. 

I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  will  give  unto  thee  the  law  of  my 
Holy  Priesthood,  as  was  ordained  by  me,  and  my  Father,  before  the 
world  was. 

Abraham  received  all  things,  whatsoever  he  received,  by  revela- 
tion and  commandment,  by  my  word,  salth  the  Lord,  and  hath 
entered  into  his  exaltation,  and  sitteth  upon  his  throne. 

Abraham  received  promises  concerning  his  seed,  and  of  the 
fruit  of  his  loins, — from  whose  loins  ye  are.  namely,  my  servant 
Joseph, — which  were  to  continue  so  long  as  they  were  In  the  world; 
and  as  touching  Abraham  and  his  seed,  out  of  the  world  they 
should  continue;  both  in  the  world  and  out  of  the  world  should 
they  continue  as  innumerable  as  the  stars;  or,  if  ye  were  to  count 
the  sand  upon  the  sea  shore,  ye  could  not  number  them. 

This  promise  is  yours,  also,  because  ye  are  of  Abraham,  and 
the  promise  was  made  unto  Abraham;  and  by  this  law  are  the 
continuation  of  the  works  of  my  Father,  wherein  h»  glorifleth 
himself. 

Go  ye,  therefore,  and  do  the  works  of  Abraham;  enter  ye  into 
my  law,  and  ye  shall  be  saved. 

But  if  ye  enter  not  into  my  law  ye  cannot  receive  the  promise 
of  my  Father,  which  he  made  unto  Abraham. 

God  commanded  Abraham,  and  Sarah  gave  Hagar  to  Abraham  to 
wife.  And  why  did  she  do  It?  Because  this  was  the  law.  and  from 
Hagar  sprang  many  people.  This,  therefore,  was  fulfilling,  among 
other  things,  the  promises. 

Was  Abraham,  therefore,  under  condemnation?  Verily,  T  say 
unto  you,  Nay;  for  I,  the  Lord,  commanded  it. 

Abraham  was  commanded  to  offer  his  son  Isaac;  nevertheless,  it 
was  written,  thou  shalt  not  kill.  Abraham,  however,  did  not  refuse, 
and  It  was  accounted  unto  him  for  righteousness. 

Abraham  received  concubines,  and  they  bear  him  children,  and  it 
was  accounted  unto  him  for  righteousness,  because  they  were  given 
unto  him,  and  he  abode  In  my  law.  as  Isaac  also,  and  Jacob  did 
none  other  things  than  that  which  they  were  commanded;  and 
because  they  did  none  other  things  than  that  which  they  were 
commanded,  they  have  entered  into  their  exaltation,  according  to  the 
promises,  and  sit  upon  thrones,  and  are  not  angels,  but  are  Gods. 

David  also  received  many  wives  and  concubines,  as  also  Solomon 
and  Moses  my  servants;  as  also  many  others  of  my  servants,  from 
the  beginning  of  creation  until  this  time:  and  In  nothing  did  they 
sin.  save  in  those  things  which  they  received  not  of  me. 

David's  wives  and  concubines  were  given  unto  him.  of  me,  by 
the  hand  of  Nathan,  my  servant,  and  others  of  the  prophets  who 
had  the  keys  of  this  power;  and  In  none  of  these  things  did  he  sin 
against  me,  save  in  the  case  of  Uriah  and  his  wife;  and,  therefore

he  hath  fallen  from  his  exaltation,  and  received  his  portion;  and  he 
shall  not  Inherit  them  out  of  the  world;  for  I  gave  them  unto 
another,  Eaith  the  Lord. 

I  am  the  Lord  thy  God.  and  I  gave  unto  thee,  my  servant  Joseph, 
an  appointment,  and  restore  all  things;  ask  what  ye  will,  and  it 
shall  be  given  unto  you  according  to  my  word: 

And  as  ye  have  asked  concerning  adultery — verily,  verily  I  say 
unto  you,  if  a  man  receiveth  a  wife  in  the  new  and  everlasting 
covenant,  and  if  she  be  with  another  man,  and  I  have  not  appointed 
unto  her  by  the  holy  anointing,  she  hath  committed  adultery,  and 
shall  be  destroyed. 

If  she  be  not  in  the  new  and  everlasting  covenant,  and  she  be 
with  another  man,  she  has  committed  adultery; 

And  if  her  husband  be  with  another  woman,  and  he  was  under 
a  vow,  he  hath  broken  his  vow,  and  hath  committed  adultery. 

And  if  she  hath  not  committed  adultery,  but  is  Innocent,  and 
hath  not  broken  her  vow,  and  she  knoweth  it,  and  I  reveal  it  unto 
you,  my  servant  Joseph,  then  shall  you  have  power,  by  the  power 
of  my  Holy  Priesthood,  to  take  her.  and  give  her  unto  him  that 
hath  not  committed  adultery,  but  hath  been  faithful  for  he  shall 
be  made  ruler  over  many; 


For  I  have  conferred  upon  you  the  keys  and  power  of  the  Priest- 
known  unto  you  all 
things   in    due   time.

And  verily,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  whatsoever  you  seal  on 
earth,  shall  be  sealed  in  heaven;  and  whatsoever  you  bind  on  earth, 
in  my  name,  and  by  my  word,  saith  the  Lord,  it  shall  be  eternally 
bound  in  the  heavens;  and  whosesoever  sins  you  remit  on  earth 
shall  be  remitted  eternally  in  the  heavens;  and  whosesoever  sins 
you  retain  on  earth,  shall  be  retained  in  heaven. 

And  again,  verily  I  say,  whomsoever  you  bless,  I  will  bless,  and 
•whomsoever  you  curse.  I  will  curse,  saith  the  Lord;  for  I,  the  Lord, 
am  thy  God. 

And  again,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  my  servant  Joseph,  that  what- 
soever you  give  on  earth,  and  to  whomsoever  you  give  any  one  on 
earth,  by  my  word,  and  according  to  my  law,  it  shall  be  visited 
with  blessings,  and  not  cursings,  and  with  my  power,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  shall  be  without  condemnation  on  earth,  and  in  heaven; 

For  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God.  and  will  be  with  thee  even  unto  the 
end  of  the  world,  and  through  all  eternity;  for  verily,  I  seal  upon 
you  your  exaltation,  and  prepare  a  throne  for  you  in  the  kingdom 
of  my  Father,  with  Abraham  your  father. 

Behold,  I  have  seen  your  sacrifices,  and  will  forgive  all  your 
sins;  I  have  seen  your  sacrifices,  in  obedience  to  that  which  I  have 
told  you;  go,  therefore,  and  I  make  a  way  for  your  escape,  as  I 
accepted  the  offering  of  Abraham,  of  his  son  Isaac. 

Verily,  I  say  unto  you,  a  commandment  I  give  unto  mine  hand- 
maid, Emma  Smith,  your  wife,  whom  I  have  given  unto  you.  that 
she  stay  herself,  and  partake  not  of  that  which  I  commanded  yoa 
to  offer  unto  her;  for  I  did  it.  saith  the  Lord,  to  prove  you  all,  as 
I  did  Abraham;  and  that  I  might  require  an  offering  at  your  hand, 
by  covenant  and  sacrifice; 

And  let  mine  handmaid,  Emma  Smith,  receive  all  those  that 
have  been  given  unto  my  servant  Joseph,  and  who  are  virtuous 
and  pure  before  me;  and  those  who  are  not  pure,  and  have  said 
they  were  pure,  shall  be  destroyed,  saith  the  Lord  God; 

For  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  ye  shall  obey  my  voice;  and  I 
give  unto  my  servant  Joseph,  that  he  shall  be  made  ruler  over 
many  things,  for  he  hath  been  faithful  over  a  few  things,  and  from 
henceforth  I  will  strengthen  him. 

And  I  command  mine  handmaid.  Emma  Smith,  to  abide  and 
cleave  unto  my  servant  Joseph,  and  to  none  else.  But  if  she  will 
not  abide  thia  commandment,  she  shall  be  destroyed,  saith  the 
Lord;  for  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  will  destroy  her,  if  she 
abide  not  in  my  law: 

But  if  she  will  not  abide  this  commandment,  then  shall  my 
servant  Joseph  do  all  things  for  her,  even  as  he  hath  said;  and, 
I  will  bless  him  and  multiply  him  and  give  unto  him  an  hundred- 
fold in  this  world,  of  fathers  and  mothers,  brothers  and  sisters, 
houses  and  lands,  wives  and  children,  and  crowns  of  eternal  lives 
In  the  eternal  worlda. 

And  again,  Terily  I  say,  let  mine  handmaid  forgive  my  servant 
Joseph  his  trespasses;  and  then  shall  she  be  forgiven  her  trespasses, 
wherein  she  has  trespassed  against  me;  and  I,  the  Lord  thy  God, 
•will  bless  her,  and  multiply  her,  and  make  her  heart  to  rejoice. 

And  again,  I  say,  let  not  my  servant  Joseph  put  his  property 
out  of  his  hands,  lest  an  enemy  come  and  destroy  him;  for  Satan 
seeketh  to  destroy;  for  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  he  is  my 
servant;  and  behold!  and  lo,  I  am  with  him.  as  I  was  with  Abra- 
ham, thy  father,  even  unto  his  exaltation  and  glory. 

Now,  as  touching  the  law  of  the  Priesthood,  there  are  many 
things  pertaining  thereunto. 

Verily,  if  a  man  be  called  of  my  Father,  as  was  Aaron,  by  mine 
own  voice,  and  by  the  voice  of  him  that  sent  me:  and  I  have 
endowed  him  with  the  keys  of  the  power  of  this  Priesthood,  if 
he  do  anything  in  my  name,  and  according  to  my  law,  and  by  my 
word,  he  will  not  commit  sin.  and  I  will  Justify  him. 

Let  no  one,  therefore,  set  on  my  servant  Joseph;  for  I  will 
Justify  him;  for  he  shall  do  the  sacrifice  which  I  require  at  his 
hands,  for  his  transgressions,  saith  the  Lord  your  God. 

And  again,  as  pertaining  to  the  law  of  the  Priesthood:  If  any 
man  espouse  a  virgin,  and  desire  to  espouse  another,  and  the  first 
give  her  consent;  and  If  he  espouse  the  second,  and  they  are 
virgins,  and  have  vowed  to  no  other  man,  then  is  he  justified;  he 
cannot  commit  adultery,  for  they  are  given  unto  him;  for  he  cannot 
commit  adultery  with  that  that  belongeth  unto  him  and  to  no  one 
else; 

And  if  he  hare  ten  virgins  given  unto  him  by  this  law,  he  cannot 
commit  adultery,  for  they  belong  to  him,  and  they  are  given  unto 
him,  therefore  is  he  Justified. 

But  if  one  or  either  of  the  ten  virgins,  after  she  is  espoused, 
shall  be  with  another  man;  she  has  committed  adultery,  and  shall 
be  destroyed;  for  they  are  given  unto  him  to  multiply  and 
replenish  the  earth,  according  to  my  commandment,  and  to  fulfill 
the  promise  which  was  given  by  my  Father  before  the  foundation 
of  the  world;  and  for  their  exaltation  in  the  eternal  worlds,  that 
they  may  bear  the  souls  of  men;  for  herein  is  the  work  of  my 
Father  continued,  that  he  may  be  glorified. 

And  again,  verily,  verily  I  say  unto  you.  if  any  man  have  a  wife, 
who  holds  the  keys  of  thia  power,  and  he  teaches  unto  her  the 
law  of  my  Priesthood,  as  pertaining  to  these  things,  then  shall  she 
believe,  and  administer  unto  him,  or  she  shall  be  destroyed,  saith 
the  Lord  your  God.  for  I  will  destroy  her:  for  I  will  magnify  my 
name  upon  all  those  who  receive  and  abide  in  my  law. 

Therefore,  it  shall  be  lawful  in  me.  if  she  receive  not  this  law, 
for  him  to  receive  all  things,  whatsoever  I.  the  Lord  his  God.  will 
give  unto  him.  because  she  did  not  administer  unto  him  according 
to  my  word:  and  she  then  becomes  the  transgressor;  and  he  is 
exempt  from  the  law  of  Sarah,  who  administered  unto  Abraham 
according  to  the  law,  when  r  commanded  Abraham  to  take  Hagar 
to  wife. 

And  now.  aa  pertaining  to  this  law.  verily,  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
I  will  reveal  more  unto  you.  hereafter;  therefore,  let  this  suffice 
for  the  present.  Behold,  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega.  Amen. — Doc.

Taylor  was  severely  wounded,  while  Apostle  Willard  Rich- 
ards only  received  a  slight  wound  on  his  ear. 

To  seal  the  testimony  of  this  book  and  the  Book  of  Mormon,  we 
announce  the  Martyrdom  of  Joseph  Smith  the  Prophet,  and  Hyrum 
Smith  the  Patriarch.  They  were  shot  in  Carthage  jail,  on  the

painted  black — of  from  150  to  200  persons.  Hyrum  was  shot  first 
and  fell  calmly,  exclaiming,  "I  am  a  dead  man  I"  Joseph  leaped 
from  the  window,  and  was  shot  dead  in  the  attempt,  exclaiming, 
"O  Lord,  my  God!"  They  were  both  shot  after  they  were  dead 
In  a  brutal  manner,  and  both  received  four  balls. 

John  Taylor,  and  Willard  Richards,  two  of  the  Twelve,  were 
the  only  persons  in  the  room  at  the  time;  the  former  was  wounded 
In  a  savage  manner  with  four  balls,  but  has  since  recovered;  the 
latter,  through  the  providence  of  God,  escaped  "without  even  a 
hole  in  his  robe."  •  •  • 

When  Joseph  went  to  Carthage  to  deliver  himself  up  to  the 
pretended  requirements  of  the  law,  two  or  three  days  previous  to 
his  assassination,  he  said,  "I  am  going  like  a  lamb  to  the  slaughter; 
but  I  am  calm  as  a  summer's  morning;  I  have  a  conscience  void 
of  offence  towards  God.  and  towards  all  men.  T  SHALL  DIE! 
INNOCENT.  AND  IT  SHALL  YET  BE  SAID  OF  ME — HE  WAS 
MURDERED  IN  COLD  BLOOD."  The  same  morning,  after  Hyrum 
had  made  ready  to  go — shall  it  be  said  to  the  slaughter?  Yes, 
for  so  it  was, — he  read  the  following  paragraph,  near  the  close 
of  the  fifth  chapter  of  Ether,  In  the  Book  of  Mormon,  and  turned 
down  the  leaf  upon  It: — 

"And  It  came  to  pass  that  I  prayed  unto  the  Lord  that  he 
would  give  unto  the  Gentiles  grace,  that  they  might  have  charity. 
And  It  came  to  pass  that  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  if  they  have  not 
charity,  it  mattereth  not  unto  you,  thou  hast  been  faithful;  where- 
fore thy  garments  are  clean.  And  because  thou  hast  seen  thy 
weakness,  thou  Shalt  be  made  strong,  even  unto  the  sitting  down 
In  the  place  which  I  have  prepared  in  the  mansions  of  my  Father. 

And  now  I bid  farewell  unto  the  Gentiles;  yea  and  also 

unto  my  brethren  whom  I  love,  until  we  shall  meet  before  the 
Judgment-seat  of  Christ,  where  all  men  shall  know  that  my 
garments  are  not  spotted  with  your  blood."  The  testators  are  now 
dead,  and  their  testament  Is  in  force. — Doc.  and  Cov.  (Appendix)
